Click on the WAMP server icon and from the menu under Config Files select httpd.conf. A long text file will open up in notepad. In this file scroll down to the line that reads Port 80 and change this to read Port 8080, Save the file and close notepad. Once again click on the wamp server icon and select restart all services. One more change needs to be made before we are done. In Windows Explorer find the location where WAMP server was installed which is by Default C:\Wamp.

Update : On a newer version of WAMP, click the WAMP server icon > Apache > httpd.conf, then change the line Listen 80 to Listen 8080 or any port you want.

How to Scale Out Apache 2

I'm hoping to hear from users who have experience scaling out (adding apache servers) websites to cope with extra demand to learn from them.

My query isn't specific to any version of Apache2 and falls under the category "if I have added as much RAM, CPU, Network capacity as the server can hold how to I go about adding additional apache servers so the demand/load is spread by a LB across numerous apache servers?"

I'm particularly interested to hear how the content to serve (var/www/site1/) is kept consistent across the different servers especially if visitors to the site would be uploading content themselves.

Would having php run with mod_suphp (suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners) complicate the matter as regards permissions & ownership or is there also a way to deal with it?

Is it possible to use PHP 5.2.5 with Apache/2.4.6?

Is it possible to use PHP 5.2.5 with Apache/2.4.6?

I have an application that was written in WAMP5 using PHP 5.2.5, and I am trying to get the application onto a CentOS server and I can't get it to work with 5.4.16.

Are there any good tutorials on using an older version of PHP with Apache?

How to route the request from apache with custom ports ( 86- http port, 4444-SSL port) to tomcat

We have a set up like Apahce (80,443) redirects the request to Tomcat (8080) using mod_jk.

The new requirement is to route the request from the same apache to another tomcat (8090). Hence I made the different config file for apache with different ports (86,4444) and different worker for mod_jk which routes the request to tomcat.

Now the issue is when I hit the url http://:86 and after providing the credentials, it is redirecting to https://:86 and throwing the below error.

Error in browser:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to x.x.x.x:86. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Error in logs:

Could you please suggest where it might went wrong and the way forward..

Apache: Single quotes in ajax POST data getting prefixed with backslash

I run an instance of apache under OS X which I use to pass data to PHP scripts using ajax. If I have a string such as "O'Toole" (without the double-quotes), then when the string (which I pass through encodeURIComponent in the browser) arrives in the PHP script, the single-quote is prefixed with a backslash. That is, the string above becomes "O'Toole".

I want my app to run under Win7, and I observe that there, the backslash is *not* inserted. This difference is a bit irritating, especially as I am having trouble discovering which component (browser, apache, PHP) is adding the backslash. On the whole, I'd rather not have it, but I'd settle for both platforms adding it. Then at least code common to both platforms can remove it.
