Re: Cannot connect to apache from outside machines

[<jg6789@xxxxxxx>]

Should I change following below for my ip to be reached? The port forwarding 
instructions on apaches website says to forward port 443(in router) to my ip 
and all should be fine. Someone mentioned to edit this httpd statement 
below. If that is true then would I have it listen on port 443 as apache 
says or have it listen on my ip?

# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
