Synopsis

                  
                  Port port
Default port: 80
Server config

When used in the main server configuration (i.e., outside any <VirtualHost> sections) and in the absence of a BindAddress or Listen directive, the Port directive sets the port number on which Apache is to listen. This is for backward compatibility, and you should really use BindAddress or Listen.

When used in a <VirtualHost> section, this specifies the port that should be used when the server generates a URL for itself (see also ServerName and UseCanonicalName). It does not set the port on which the virtual host listens — that is done by the <VirtualHost> directive itself.
