How to start nginx via different port(other than 80)
- by Zhao Peng
Hi I am a newbie on nginx, I tried to set it up on my server(running Ubuntu 4), which already has apache running.
So after I apt-get install it, I tried to start nginx. Then I get the message like this:
Starting nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
That makes sense as Apache is using port 80.
Then I tried to modify nginx.conf, I reference some articles, so I changed it like so:
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
proxy_pass http://94.143.9.34:9500;
proxy_set_header Host $host:8080;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Via "nginx";
}
After saving this and try to start nginx again, I still get the same error as previously. I cannot really find a related post about this, could any good people shred some light?
Thanks in advance :)

I should post all the content in conf here:
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
server {
listen 81;
location / {
proxy_pass http://94.143.9.34:9500;
proxy_set_header Host $host:81;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Via "nginx";
}
}
}

See sample authentication script at:
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript
auth_http localhost/auth.php;
pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER";
imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS";
server {
listen localhost:110;
protocol pop3;
proxy on;
}
server {
listen localhost:143;
protocol imap;
proxy on;
}
}
Basically, I changed nothing except adding the server part.
