> When I try the access using "http://localhost:23456" I get a web page display "It works". > Is there a way of telling the browser or apache to use this port by default? When you connect using a URL like http:/www.example.com or http://localhost, your browser will use port 80 to connect as this is the default port assigned to the HTTP protocol. You probably just want to run Apache HTTPD on port 80 and have the processes which answer requests run as a lesser privileged user.
