Apache Confusion - Please help

Good day -
I am extremely new to apache, and have only dabbled with extreme care on the work Linux servers.
I have managed to install Redhat 7.2 and was able to get ssh working and apache.
However - I believe my ISP is blocking port 80
in my httpd.conf i have a listen port of 9080 and 8008
and the default port still set to 80.

i have a domain that is pointing to my machine through my works Named and doing a trace on the domain name resolves to the correct IP

BUT typing in the domain name does not resolve it - i get the 404 message

typing in the IP and i get 404
but typing in the IP:9080 i get the server root pages.

I have included the virtualhost directives and I can email the entire httpd.conf to somebody if the request it if they need more info.


<VirtualHost ********>
ServerAdmin andrew@**.***.***.***
DocumentRoot /home/main/html
ServerName **.***.***.***
TransferLog /home/main/logs/http.log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost ********>
ServerAdmin andrew@**.***.***.***
DocumentRoot /home/andrew/websites/********/html
ServerName URL
TransferLog /home/andrew/logs/*********/http.log
</VortualHost>

I have removed the IP and domain names to protect the server.

Please if somebody can help me with this problem I will be eternally thankful.

Thank you

Andrew R

why do you have those high ports listening?

should be in the apache forum

this is no firewall issue since 404 is a response by your httpd.

most likely you did not define an additional "default server" (you need that if you activate virtual hosts):
<virtualhost *> i think or <virtualhost _default_> or something alike...

or there is no index.html in your default server´s htdocs-dir
