By default, it -listens to all addresses on the machine, and to the port -as specified by the <code>Port</code> directive in the server configuration. -However, it can be told to listen to more the one port, or to listen -to only selected addresses, or a combination. This is often combined -with the Virtual Host feature which determines how Apache -responds to different IP addresses, hostnames and ports.</p> - -<p>The <code>Listen</code> directive tells the server to accept -incoming requests only on the specified port or address-and-port -combinations. If only a port number is specified in the -<code>Listen</code> directive, the server listens to the given port on -all interfaces, instead of the port given by the <code>Port</code> -directive. If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server -will listen on the given port and interface. Multiple Listen -directives may be used to specify a number of addresses and ports to -listen to. The server will respond to requests from any of the listed -addresses and ports.</P> - -<p>For example, to make the server accept connections on both port -80 and port 8000, use: -<PRE> - Listen 80 - Listen 8000 -</PRE> - -To make the server accept connections on two specified -interfaces and port numbers, use -<PRE> - Listen 192.170.2.1:80 - Listen 192.170.2.5:8000 -</PRE> - -<H2>How this works with Virtual Hosts</H2> - -<p>Listen does not implement Virtual Hosts. It only tells the -main server what addresses and ports to listen to. If no -<VirtualHost> directives are used, the server will behave the -same for all accepted requests. However, <VirtualHost> can be -used to specify a different behavior for one or more of the addresses -and ports. To implement a VirtualHost, the server must first be told -to listen to the address and port to be used. Then a -<VirtualHost> section should be created for a specified address -and port to set the behavior of this virtual host. Note that if the -<VirtualHost> is set for an address and port that the server is -not listening to, it cannot be accessed. - -<H2>See also</H2> - -See also the documentation on -<a href="mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen directive</a>, -<A HREF="vhosts/">Virtual Hosts</A>, -<A HREF="mod/core.html#port">Port directive</A>, -<A HREF="dns-caveats.html">DNS Issues</A> -and -<A HREF="mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost> section</A>. - -<!--#include virtual="footer.html" --> -</BODY> -</HTML> - |
