ISP blocks port 80

[Thurbien]

My ISP blocks port 80, how do I make my website use another port so others can get to it?

My ISP blocked my port 80 to, i just contacted them and they removed the block.

ok, i am just throwing out a bone here... if you get the error about cannot connect on 0.0.0.0:80 ..... this COULD a block from isp?

It means something is already using the port. IE Apache is already running or Skype is running or somehting like that

I contacted my ISP, and it would cost too much for the use of port 80, is there any way around this block, like using another port?

ok can i get some info onto who is your isp?

mine is verizon and i think they might be blocking port 80 too

They shouldn't block it if you request the use of it. If you need access to that port then you should be able to use it.

I use Apache slightly different to the way the newest tutorial does, but during the installation you can actually specify a port to use.

First get a list of what ports your ISP blocks. Also What is your ISP and can you forward me the List so I can look into the legality side of Blocking these ports?

Thanks and Good Luck
