How can I get WAMP and a domain name to work on a non-standard port?
- by David Murdoch
I have read countless articles on setting up a domain on WAMP to listen on a port other than 80; none of them are working.
I've got Windows Server 2008 (Standard) with IIS 7 installed and running on port 80 (and 443).
I've got WAMP installed with the following configuration.
Listen 81
ServerName sub.example.com:81
DocumentRoot "C:/Path/To/www"
<Directory "C:/Path/To/www">
Options All MultiViews
AllowOverride All
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
localhost:81 works with the above configuration but sub.example.com:81 does not.
Just to make sure my firewall wasn't getting in the way I have disabled it completely.
My sub.example.com domain is already pointing to my server and works on IIS on port 80.
Also, if I disable IIS and change the Apache port from 81 to 80 it works.
Yes, I am restarting Apache after each httpd.conf change. :-)
I don't need any other domain (or sub domains [I don't even care about localhost]) configured which is why I'm not using a VirtualHost.
Any ideas what is going on here? What could I be doing wrong?
Update
Changing Listen to 80 but keeping ServerName as sub.example.com:81 causes navigation to sub.example.com:80 to work; this just doesn't seem right to me. Could ServerName be ignoring the :port part somehow?
