Hi ,


 I am using the moodle2.2.3 when i have started the moodle it is running on the port '80' , I want to change the port from 80 to 8080 because IIS running in my system with default port 80 so i want to change the default port to 8080 I have done the following changes .


 ..\MoodleWindowsInstaller-latest-19\server\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Listen 80 ---> Listen 8080
ServerName localhost:80 -----> ServerName localhost:8080

 

However, when I run Apache in XMAPP controller alone, it still uses port 80 instead of 8080 that I modified in httpd.conf

What else should I modify in order to change the port settings.

Please Help

 

Fred

You need to do 2 thing after that. 1. Be sure to restart Apache Server. 2. Access Moodle installation using something like this in the URL: http://localhost:8080/Moodle you need to specify explicitly the port 8080 when accessing through a different port, in that case, you can disable IIS to make XAMPP the only application listening to 80 port.
