How to give specific port to Apache in Ubuntu 12.04 and port for mysql

Question

I am using xampp Apache server but it works locally i want to access it from public ip and i know the whole process but i am stuck how to change the port for Apache server because i dont want to access it with port 80 but is it possible that apache will run on other port please help and also how to change the port of mysql

Solution

Simple , you can do it with listen command. I mean open your terminal with CTRL+ALT+T then type as

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Then make the line as

Listen 8000

save & close. restart your apache server. now your apache will start listening to port number 8000.

Please, read the question marked as duplicated of this. It clearly says how to change the default port. For Mysql, you should ask another question.

@AitazazKhan we limit each post to one question. You have two different questions, Apache and MySQL. The Apache issue is solved (look at the duplicate question). For your MySQL question, please ask another question, just like you asked the Apache question. This is because these are two different problems, with two different solutions. Thanks.

why don't put that in /etc/apache2/ports.conf ?

Using above configuration, apache will listen on 80 and 8000 ports. In order to set 8000 as default port, change it in /etc/apache2/ports.conf file.
