change default apache port

Question

I have question about apache, as I know, by default apache work on port 80, I need to change this default port to another, say 8080.

actually, I have changed this port successfully, by editing on apache configuration on the Listen 80 to Listen 8080

but the problem is, I need to add :8080 inside url, so I request site with like this: http://localhost:8080

Is it possible to remove 8080 on the url?

because I need to off port 80, without getting down the server for public access.

Hi, your question isn't really on-topic for stackoverflow in my view. I'm Voting off-topic since the question is about network/server issues and unfortunately won't get any better answers from moving to serverfault. (hoxworth is spot with the answer) — Flexo - Save the data dump

It is not possible to connect a standard browser to a non-standard HTTP port without explicitly declaring the port as part of the URL, no.

By "explicitly declaring as part of the URL" I think hoxworth meant exactly what you wrote in the question, i.e. http://localhost:8080

try...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

You have multiple domains going to the same IP and also want to serve multiple ports. By defining the ports in the "NameVirtualHost" tag, you can allow this to work. If you try using without the NameVirtualHost name:port or you try to use the Listen directive, your configuration will not work.

Server configuration Listen 80 Listen 8080 NameVirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80 NameVirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080 <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80> ServerName www.example1.com DocumentRoot /www/domain-80 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080> ServerName www.example1.com DocumentRoot /www/domain-8080 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80> ServerName www.example2.org DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain-80 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080> ServerName www.example2.org DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain-8080 </VirtualHost>
