[Techtalk] Re: [prog] How, Apache web server listening at other port # other then 80

I've taken the liberty of moving this thread over to techtalk, since
it's not a programming question.

I've got two different guesses at what might be happening.

1. Apache's documentation demonstrates different directives under
which the server can be bound to a port.  (See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/bind.html)  Could you please humor
us and tell us what you get from doing a 'grep 80 httpd.conf'?

2. Maybe you've got Apache installed in two different places and
accidentally modified the httpd.conf for the one that you're not
running?  In that case the output of 'locate httpd.conf' would be
enlightening.
