When the client (browser in this case) sees the protocol name "http" it will attempt to connect to the assigned port. If you want to connect to an http service running on some port other than :80 you have to tell the *client* what port to connect to on the server. There's nothing that you can do on the server side to change this. [no, changing the port number assigned to http in the /etc/services file on your server will not change how the web browser tries to connect to your server.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
