Configure HTTPD To Listen on Multiple Ports

To configure the Apache HTTP Server (HTTPD) to listen on multiple ports, you can use the Listen directive in the httpd.conf configuration file. The Listen directive specifies the IP address and port that the server should listen on.

For example, to configure HTTPD to listen on the default HTTP port (80) and the default HTTPS port (443), you can add the following lines to the httpd.conf file:

Listen 80
Listen 443

To listen on additional ports, you can add additional Listen directives. For example, to listen on port 8080 and 8443, you can add the following lines:

Listen 8080
Listen 8443

You will also need to ensure that the ports you are listening on are open in the firewall and allowed through any other security measures, such as a firewall or security group.

After making changes to the httpd.conf file, you will need to restart the HTTPD service for the changes to take effect. You can do this using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Note: If you are using a version of HTTPD that is older than version 2.4, you will need to use the NameVirtualHost directive instead of the Listen directive to specify the IP address and port that the server should listen on.

For example:

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
