It tells the server to accept incoming requests on the -specified port or address-and-port combination. If the first format is -used, with a port number only, the server listens to the given port on -all interfaces, instead of the port given by the <TT>Port</TT> -directive. If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server -will listen on the given port and interface. <P> Multiple Listen -directives may be used to specify a number of addresses and ports to -listen to.

They tell 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="vhosts/index.html">Virtual Hosts</A>, -<A HREF="mod/core.html#bindaddress">BindAddress directive</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> - |
