HOW TO : change the port for web sharing in OS X.
By default it's on port 80 but I would like to change that port.
How do I .... :cool:
 
you need to be root to do this but you'll need to edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, search for the line that says "Listen 80" change the 80 to whatever port you'd like, you may also have to create a new firewall rule in the sharing pane to allow connections on that port, hope that helps.

yield - this board that you are in is for instructional howtos not for questions so a mod might move your post but since there is an answer on HOWTO there they may not but another thing to do before posting a topic is to search the forum because it may be a common problem, well just wanted to let you know so in the future the mods dont yell at you :D . But on another note welcome to the board!

:cool: If you use BBEdit it will just ask you for your administrative password instead of making you switch to root (or even activate it in the first place).
