httpd service does not start with non-standard port

[jdmcclure]

I am new to linux, I recently installed Fedora 4. I want to start Apache and have it listen to a non-standard port (my ISP blocks 80 and 8080). However, the service will not start with any other ports I try.

Example:
Listen 777

I cannot find any meaningful error messages anywhere. The service (httpd) will start fine when ports 80 and 8080 are used.

Anyone one have an idea why this is occuring? I appreciate any help.

Checked the logs in /var/log/httpd/ yet?

Try port 8008, supposedly it's the alternative http port. And others above 1000 or so, root access is required for these. It shouldn't matter in this case, but large port numbers aren't used.

I figured it out. I had to disable SELinux on my HTTP Server.
