Hi,

we have a range of ips for our main dedicated server, one of which we want to use just for webmin.

Is there a way therefore to prevent apache from listening on this ip, as the default server appears to listen to any ip/port and we dont seems to be able to change this

many thanks in advance

Type:

Listen 80

Which will make it listen to port 80

And use

<VirtualHost 5.5.5.5>
.
.
.
.

</VirtualHost>

So when you access with IP 5.5.5.5 apache will desplay what specified between the <VirtualHost></VirtualHost>

(use your own ip though not 5.5.5.5)

Restart apache and done.

hi, thanks for the response

I understand what you are saying, however i want webmin to run exlusively on this single ip running under port 80

so therefore what would i need to put inside the virtual host bits to get this to work

many thanks

If you want apache to listen to another port simply make apache listen to another port by "Listen portnumber"

Change the Listen directive to:

Listing 1.2.3.4:80

Specify one line for each IP you want Apache to listen on. Do the same for port 443 if you are using SSL on any IPs. Also don't forget to make sure you have a NameVirtualHost for each IP you have VirtualHost directives for.

Hope this helps.

go to>>webmin configuration then >>port and address and then>> listen on IP address - enter IP >> listen on port - specify what port you want to run webmin.
