Question
While Apache Listing to Port 8080 - Website is Not Working
- Posted March 2, 2015
I have successfully installed varnish cache on Cpanel + Centos 6.5 + Apache. While I changed the Apache port from 80 to 8080, my website stop functioning. However, While I switch back to default Port 80 then Website start responding. Varnish cache is installed and listing to port 80.
I did below mention steps to install varnish.
yum install -y gcc make automake autoconf libtool ncurses-devel libxslt groff pcre-devel pckgconfig libedit libedit-devel
rpm --nosignature -i http://repo.varnish-cache.org/redhat/varnish-3.0/el6/noarch/varnish-release/varnish-release-3.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm
yum install varnish
Please help me on this.

My Setting is
nano -w /etc/sysconfig/varnish
Not setting VARNISH_LISTEN_ADDRESS makes Varnish listen on all IPs on this box
(Both IPv4 and IPv6 if available). Set manually to override this.
VARNISH_LISTEN_ADDRESS=
VARNISH_LISTEN_PORT=80
Telnet admin interface listen address and port
VARNISH_ADMIN_LISTEN_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 VARNISH_ADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=6082
nano -w /etc/varnish/default.vcl
backend default { .host = “127.0.0.1”; .port = “8080”; }
I am using apache 2.4 php 5.5 cpanel centos 6.5 64X
What i have to do next
Did you configure varnish to use localhost:8080 as backend?
also remember to restart both services after changing the config files.
Sounds like iptables. What does “iptables -L” return. Probably port 80 is open but port 8080 is not.
Presumably one would need to configure Varnish?
(And Nginx)
