Listen Ports and Addresses
In HTTP Service, select whether Apache should be running (Enabled) or stopped
(Disabled). In Listen on Ports, Add, Edit, or Delete addresses and ports on which the
server should be available. The default is to listen on all interfaces on port 80. You
should always check Open Firewall on Selected Ports, because otherwise the Web
server is not reachable from the outside. Keeping the port closed is only useful in test
situations where no external access to the Web server is necessary.
With Log Files, watch either the access log or the error log. This is useful if you want
to test your configuration. The log file opens in a separate window from which you can
also restart or reload the Web server (see
Section 40.3, "Starting and Stopping Apache"
(page 754) for details). These commands are effective immediately.
