If you change the port that the Apache Web Server uses to 8090 then the url to get to your server would be: http://www.yoursite.com:8090 If you don't like making everyone include the port number in the url then that can be avoided by using ZoneEdit. ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com) provides a web forwarding service that will allow visitors to access your site by using www.yoursite.com. ZoneEdit will forward all web hits for www.yoursite.com to www.yoursite.com:8090. For this to work, you must own the domain name yoursite.com. ZoneEdit's forwarding service is free if your web-site does not have much activity. W. E.
