By default Apache server listens on TCP port 80 but I’d like an Apache Web Server to listen on port 80 and port 8080. The following article explains how do I configure Apache server to listen multiple ports under CentOS Linux Server?

To configure Apache server to listen multiple ports, you need to login as root and open configure file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and modify the Listen directive tells the server to accept incoming requests on the specified port.

# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Find line that read as follows:

Listen 80

Force Apache server to listen on both port 80 and 8080:

Listen 80
Listen 8080

And find the VirtualHost portion for your website config and add *:8080 as shown below:

<VirtualHost *:80 *:8080>
...
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file. Restart apache server:

# service httpd restart
