My proxy won't allow HTTP connections to any ports besides 80 and 8080. Can I still participate?

DESCHALL Project Frequently Asked Questions
Sure! You can get the Perl U2T gateway at http://www.research.megasoft.com/deschall/deschall-u2t and use it to talk to http://deschall-gateway.verser.frii.com:8080 If port 80 is the only one you're allowed to use, you might be stuck. Mail Matt and see if something can be worked out for you. It's possible that, unless you're a fairly large site, you're stuck at this point. But it's worth looking into anyway.

Which port does HTTPS use?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
You can run HTTPS on any port, but the standards specify port 443, which is where any HTTPS compliant browser will look by default.

Why do I have to enter an admin MAC and an HTTPS port?

BlockOutTraffic - FAQ
IPCop access is blocked by default and is why you have to initially enter an admin MAC and HTTPS port. If there were not such an admin rule, you would be locked out from IPCop and not be able to access the WebGUI anymore. This flushes all the IPCop access (and deny) rules. Now you are able to enter the WebGUI, disable BOT and change the admin MAC.

What is the http-port (http-admin-port) configuration option about?

Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway
The http-port (now renamed as http-admin-port) is, as documentation/userguide tells, the port where Kannel listens for http-administration commands. So it is not linked to your Apache/whatever httpd, it simply uses the same protocol (HTTP). And as Kannel is not run as a 'root' program, this port number must be over 1024. Default is 13000, after which, for example, the status of Kannel can be checked this way: Those markings mean that you have ran into CVS conflict.

My ISP blocked port 80. How can I run a web server?

Frequently Asked Questions (ZoneEdit.com)
Check to see if your web server works in a browser by using a URL: http://3.4.5.6:6000/. Use the port number that you're listening on and the real IP address of your machine. Add the "IP Address" for your web server in ZoneEdit: "ww2.domainname.com" points to "ip address". Add a Web Forward entry for your domain called "www.domainname.com" that points to http://ww2.

Is it possible to provide HTTP and HTTPS with a single server?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
Yes, HTTP and HTTPS use different server ports, so there is no direct conflict between them. Either run two separate server instances (one binds to port 80, the other to port 443) or even use Apache's elegant virtual hosting facility where you can easily create two virtual servers which Apache dispatches: one responding to port 80 and speaking HTTP and one responding to port 443 speaking HTTPS.

How can I use relative hyperlinks to switch between HTTP and HTTPS?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
Usually you have to use fully-qualified hyperlinks because you have to change the URL scheme. But with the help of some URL manipulations through mod_rewrite you can achieve the same effect while you still can use relative URLs:

Is it possible to provide HTTP and HTTPS from the same server?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
Yes. HTTP and HTTPS use different server ports (HTTP binds to port 80, HTTPS to port 443), so there is no direct conflict between them. You can either run two separate server instances bound to these ports, or use Apache's elegant virtual hosting facility to create two virtual servers, both served by the same instance of Apache - one responding over HTTP to requests on port 80, and the other responding over HTTPS to requests on port 443.

How can I switch between HTTP and HTTPS in relative hyperlinks?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
Usually, to switch between HTTP and HTTPS, you have to use fully-qualified hyperlinks (because you have to change the URL scheme). Using mod_rewrite however, you can manipulate relative hyperlinks, to achieve the same effect. This rewrite ruleset lets you use hyperlinks of the form <a href="document.html:SSL">, to switch to HTTPS in a relative link. (Replace SSL with NOSSL to switch to HTTP.)

What can I do if my favicon won't work with my https (secure http) site?

Frequently asked questions about favicons

My port 80 is blocked, how do I redirect my web site to another port?

DtDNS :: Frequently Asked Questions
You can't. Port 80 (standard http requests) can be redirected because of a feature of the HTTP protocol. Other ports (such as FTP and IRC) cannot be redirected by default. E-Mail can be redirected if you purchase e-mail routing or forwarding from a third party provider.
