Yes, your Apache IS listening on Port 8080. Your question was "is it possible to configure Apache so that it automatically goes to the 8080 address". You're asking for two different things. When you open a web browser, and go to any site, it goes to port 80, unless you specify otherwise. Think of it as a CB radio. If you're on channel 4, and I'm on channel 21, can I go on channel 21 and say "Hey, go to channel 21?" Sure. But will you hear me? No. Apache is listening on port 8080 as you have it configured. So your choice is either keep it as is, and you need to go to http://localhost:8080 , or modify httpd.conf to Listen 80 instead of Listen 8080. But this is a Windows box, so you'll need to turn off IIS or anything else listening on port 80. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
