How to make apache listen on specific IP addresses

[Droid1]

I have a server that has multiple IP addresses on it. I only want ports 80 and 443 to listen on specific addresses. How would I go about doing this? I cannot find anything to help me out.

Hi

Set the [tt]Listen[/tt] directive accordingly.

You can set the IP in your virtual host configuration. For example, <Virtual host w.x.y.z:80> where w,x,y, and z are the octets of your IP.

See the following for more information:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#virtualhost

I tried setting the Listen directive but I must have done it wrong. Here is what I tried and it failed.

;Listen 80
Listen a.b.c.d:80
Listen e.f.g.h:80
Listen i.j.k.l:80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
NameVirtualHost *:443
    ;Listen 443
    Listen a.b.c.d:443
    Listen e.f.g.h:443
    Listen i.j.k.l:443
</IfModule>

Using, "NameVirtualHost *:443", tells Apache to bind to all addresses. The * is the wild card, use the IP address instead.

Also take a look at this. It covers binding and incorporates both the listen and virtual host directive which can be used together to customize the behavior.
