Launching APACHE daemon in other different port than 80

NOTE: Tested in GNU/Debian Sid (Ubuntu should work too)

Apache2 is a web server daemon which usually listens at port 80.
We are going to change the port Apache2 server listens into 8080.

First of all we need apache 2 daemon installed in our system:
#aptitude install apache2.2-common

We edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf file:

Listen 8080

also edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file:

VirtualHost *:8080

Time to start (or restart) apache web server:
#apache2ctl start
#apache2ctl restart

If we get this warning:

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

If everything has gone fine you should be able to see your local web pages in a web browser:
http://localhost:8080
