How to change server port 80>>8080 without killing myself???

i have changed templates http_port as per manuals for plesk 11.0.9

and my server now works on port 8080
instead of my site it opens default page, with welcome message...

what i did wrong?
everything as written in plesk documentation.

why its so hard to make an option inside control panel to change port????
one click ok, thats it.


please let me know how to change port correct way?
or i will wipe this **** from my server and will work with raw server (at least it much easier...)


thank you

If you have nGinx reverse proxy enabled, then please try to disable it and check if this helps:

Hi Alexey

did i say that i have nginx installed??

my question is - how to change apache server port from 80 to 8080.
so when i open my site like www.mysite.com:8080 i will see "my" front page, without any "plesk" welcome message....

why in cpanel there is an easy option to type your port, click ok. restart apache, thats it.
if you have raw server, you change port and restart apache thats it.

why in plesk i have to be a programmer alike to dig into templates and configs that even aside from apache???

i'm already wasted 4 days trying to get it working. using manuals, forum posts, google, and my brains.

unbelievable!!!
4 days gone, even official forum here, nobody knows how to change port number,
LOL guys come on, tell me please how to change port for apache web server 80 >> 8080

do not advice me to use iptables ports redirects!!
do not advice me to read manuals, i did it already, and as i said i have default plesk welcome page..

other servers i use, some of them have cpanel, there is easy option in apache config menu, just one click...

plesk just suck...


huh??


thank you

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Then change

Listen 80

to

Listen 8080

Then thereafter restart apache with /etc/init.d/httpd restart

ok
i will ask you one question - do you think i have to create that file and dir (cause my apache and settings in other dir...)
or you just copy paste from plesk 9??

you dont understand even my first message - if i change port (AND I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS) even reading manuals.
why do i see DEFAULT PLESK PAGE, asking me to create domain and etc etc.....

cheers

That setting is in the apache configuration file. if its in a different folder, then edit that very file in the different folder.
