[users@httpd] Re: Re: Changing Port Apache listens on?
Did that:
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80 (looks like a comment)
#
Port 80
#
#
Ah I found it. The trouble is EVERYTHING looks like comments.
I just noticed the above is NOT a comment only because I copy and pasted in here
and the line breaks became evident when I did that.
Thanks I think I know what to do now to fix this issue.

Get the free ConTEXT editor
and the color file for Apache Conf
(Apache color file needs Apache2
reworking - or copy and create an
Apache2 color file)
ConTEXT also changes Unix to Dos:
After you load in any file go to:
Tools->Convert text to ->
DOS
Unicode
UNIX
Mac
ConTEXT
http://www.fixedsys.com/context/
Text Coloring for:
Apache Config
ASP
ASP-JS
CSharp
MS Interface Definition Language (IDL)
NT/2K Batch
PHP
VBScript
Visual Basic .NET
Windows Resource Scripts
And many more and easy to
create/change the color files
I use ConTEXT for Windows Scripting and
for those quick .NET Framework assemblies.
There's a lot in those .NET Framework classes!

Wow! you are using notepad? Get something that will support syntax
highlighting, such as jedit (www.jedit.org).
As regards the format, if that is the issue, then try downloading that
unix2dos.exe and/or dos2unix.exe utilities. They are command line
programs that convert the formats of text documents.

I don't think you understand. In httpd.conf EVERYTHING looks like comments.
EVERYTHING. Not somethings but EVERYTHING.
This is an issue of linebreaks not appearing in Notepad which is what I am
using to view the file.
When I tried posting in this post what it looked like to me the line breaks
appeared correctly.
I have fixed the issue. But only because when I tried to post the way the
file looks to me the linebreaks became clear which they wer NOT viewing
httpd.conf
in Notepad.
There was no installer in this installation. The way it works is like this:
Cygwin | Setup | Apache | done.
That's it no more and no less. That's all. Once that was done I was at the
mercy of reading
locations on the web what to do to get it going and the fact that the
linebreaks
were not appearing in httpd.conf I was at a loss where to change the port.

You're trying to use a windows program to view a file with Unix mode
line endings. Use an editor that supports unix mode.
And take the advice that has already been given here, don't use the
Cygwin version unless you have some specific need. Use the windows
native 2.x version.

You may be confused because of the use of defaults. It is standard practice to include commented statements of all defaulted parameters. If you don't like the default, you uncomment and change. Be grateful for the comments. In the bad old days all you got was the code, and it wasn't very readable.
Apache is a complex system. The header clearly encourages the installer to really read the thing and understand it before diving in. I think if you do that you will get used to the flowing form.
