Can't change virtualhost listen port without crashing my site

Posted on July 21, 2014

Hi, I am trying to configure Varnish in an Ubuntu 14.04 server running three virtual hosts and I am getting stuck in the previous step of changing listen port in apache ports.conf and sites-available/site.conf.

It doesn’t matter what port I try (recommended 8080, 8585, 4000, etc), after restarting the server I get a connection error when trying to visit my website.

Can you help me?

I don’t see any error. Am I missing something?:

[Mon Jul 21 17:54:58.001140 2014] [:notice] [pid 1607] ModSecurity for Apache/2.7.7 (http://www.modsecurity.org/) configured.

By the way, already tried to disable modsecurity and that didn’t help.

Nothing there… no error is being recorded.
