Apache 'Listen' Config

NickM · 3 Feb 2011 at 19:22

Currently have Apache set to

Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
Listen 192.168.1.14:8080

Is it possible to use a partial IP instead of a full one? I tried setting it to

Listen 192.168.1.:8080
Listen 192.168.1:8080
Listen 192.168.1.*:8080

but with any of those it meant Apache wouldn't start.
I know I could assign my computer a static IP but as my router isn't too good when it comes to static IPs.

Thanks

Listen 0.0.0.0:8080

or even just:

Listen 8080

Try that should bind it to all interfaces.

Problem is I don't want it bound to one of the interfaces

When I connect my laptop at work I only want the Apache server to show up locally (192.168.1.) not on the work network (10.0.6.)

Ah sensible

In that case, im not sure

The standard way is to use wildcards as you tried e.g 192.168.*.* but if those aren't supported then I guess you may have to go to a static address.

Hopefully someone else knows better
