Specifying Listener Ports and Addresses

When Oracle HTTP Server is started, by default, it listens for requests on port 7777
(non-SSL). If port 7777 is occupied, Oracle HTTP Server listens on the next available
port number between a range of 7777-7877. Thus, if port 7777 is busy, it would listen
on port 7778, and so on.

A file named setupinfo.txt is automatically generated in ORACLE_
HOME/Apache/Apache

on UNIX or ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache on

Windows.It contains port information for Oracle HTTP Server. This file is
generated at install time, and is not updated thereafter. If you restart Oracle HTTP
Server, the information in this file becomes inaccurate.

You can change the Oracle HTTP Server listener port (SSL and non-SSL) after
installation. If you make a port change, then you have to also update other
components to use the new port number.

You can specify the server to listen to more than one port, selected addresses, or a
combination. The following directives, located in the “Global Environment” of the

httpd.conf

file, specify listener ports and addresses. Note that

BindAddress

and

Port

can be used only once. Apache group recommends the use of

Listen

instead.
