Changing Ports - AidanP017/Aidan-SYS-255 GitHub Wiki

To change ports for an httpd web server, take the following steps:

  • Open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf with a text editor (vim or nano).
    • Where it says “Listen <Port #>”, change the port number to the desired value.
    • Save your changes and exit the text editor.
  • Restart the web server: systemctl restart httpd
  • Verify that the server is active: systemctl status httpd
  • Add the new port to the firewall: firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=#/tcp –permanent
  • Reload the firewall: firewall-cmd –reload
  • Verify that the port has been added to the firewall: firewall-cmd –list-all
