Possible to preview website at specific port number?

I would recommend modifying your local PC's host file.

Good suggestion, I have it setup like that at the moment. If I wanted to let others view it though, could I assign a port number to it?

Ok, I figured out what I need to do.

Following both of these links…

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/bind.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts … .html#port">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html#port

I realised that I had to add the port for Apache to listen out for and then specify it in the virtual host file for that domain.

For example:

Inside /etc/apache2/ports.config

...

NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
# Add port you want to use
Listen 8080

...

Inside /etc/apaches2/sites-available/exampledomain.com

# Spedify the port number
 <virtualhost 12.34.56.78:8080="">...</virtualhost> 

And don't forget to reload Apache.
