By default, - it listens to all addresses on the machine. However, it needs to - be told to listen to specific ports, 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. 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:</p> -<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> - IPv6 addresses must be surrounded in square brackets, as in the - following example: -<pre> - Listen [fe80::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80 -</pre> - - <h2>Special IPv6 considerations</h2> - - When APR supports IPv6, Apache will create IPv6-capable listening - sockets by default (i.e., when no IP address is specified on the - Listen directive). In other words, when APR supports IPv6, -<pre> - Listen 80 -</pre> - is equivalent to -<pre> - Listen [::]:80 -</pre> - When APR does not support IPv6, -<pre> - Listen 80 -</pre> - is equivalent to -<pre> - Listen 0.0.0.0:80 -</pre> - On some platforms, such as NetBSD, binding to the IPv6 wildcard address - ("::") does not allow Apache to accept connections on IPv4 interfaces. - In this situation, multiple Listen directives are required, as shown - below: -<pre> - Listen 0.0.0.0:80 - Listen [::]:80 -</pre> - Apache does not currently detect this, so the Listen statements must - be edited manually by the administrator. - - <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.</p> - - <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="dns-caveats.html">DNS Issues</a> and <a - href="mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost> - section</a>. <!--#include virtual="footer.html" --> - </body> -</html> - |
