When I configured Apache to only listen on 1 IP address, sockstat then showed it listening on that address in addition to *:80. The exact same config changes on a machine without fp installed resulted in the expected behaviour. Now, I haven't been idle since I made that first post ... It seems there are two frontpage ports, apache_fp and mod_frontpage. I've got apache_fp installed. Anyone using mod_frontpage that can say whether it's better or worse? > At 07:38 AM 6/10/2004, Bill Moran wrote: > > >I just learned that if you run Apache+Frontpage, you can't teach Apache to > >only listen on a single IP address.
