Sushant,

Great to hear that your server is working. Congratulations!

Use the Listen directive in the Apache configuration file:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#listen

You can listen on a specific IP address:

Listen 1.2.3.4:80

Or on all IPv4 addresses:

Listen 0.0.0.0:80

Or on a specific IPv6 address:

Listen [2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80

Or on all addresses:

Listen 80



/oradata/httpd-2.2.4/bin/httpd -d /etc/httpd



Include /etc/httpd/conf/listen.conf

(assuming the /etc directory is specific to each cluster member)



(on the machine with IP address 1.2.3.4)

/oradata/httpd-2.2.4/bin/httpd -c "Listen 1.2.3.4:80"

It's a wealth of options, really.

You mentioned that you are running Apache on a cluster. You might consider using a specific configuration file on each machine that has the correct IP address information for that box, and writing your startup script to start Apache with the -d option, like Or, if you want to use the same configuration file, you can write a simple machine-specific file with JUST the information that is different for each machine, and use the Include directive to suck that into the configuration. So, in /oradata/httpd-2.2.4/conf/ httpd.conf, you would have no Listen directive, but instead: Finally, you can use the -c and -C command-line options to httpd from your startup script to specify the listening address:
