Apache – Virtual Host on different PORT (8080) not working

Good morning everybody,
This is quite an issue every linux user with a bit of experience would laugh at me, but hey, even wasting 10 minute it’s not a nice thing so here is the problem:

My virtualhost on port 80 works fine but when I try to create another one on a different port apache doesn’t show the pages and if I would be so clever to check logs I would find this error: “No virtualhost on that port”

Here’s the solution:

Go to /etc/apache2/
```
cd /etc/apache2/
```
Open ports.conf (check permissions if you are doing this with ftp)
```
NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
```

Add this line after Listen 80

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
Listen 8080

Restart apache
```
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
```

And it’s done. 🙂
