Re: How to get a module to bind on a different port

[Sascha Kersken <sk...@lingoworld.de>]

Hi,

the Listen directive is always part of the Server configuration and not a 
module's business.
The correct way is to use more than one Listen directive and have a virtual 
host deal with your module stuff.
For example:
Listen 80
Listen YOURPORT
<VirtualHost *:YOURPORT>
  YourModuleDirective
</VirtualHost>
Look at the documentation on modules like mod_ssl for details (or e.g. my 
own module mod_daytime: 
http://buecher.lingoworld.de/apache2/mod_daytime_en.html)

Hope that helps.

Regards
Sascha
