+ <p>When httpd starts, it binds to some port and address on
+ the local machine and waits for incoming requests. By default,
+ it listens to all addresses on the machine. However, it may need to
+ be told to listen on specific ports, or only on selected
+ addresses, or a combination of both. This is often combined with the
+ <a href="vhosts/">Virtual Host</a> feature, which determines how
+ <code>httpd</code> responds to different IP addresses, hostnames and
+ ports.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>
+ directive tells the server to accept
+ incoming requests only on the specified port(s) or
+ address-and-port combinations. If only a port number is
+ specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>
+ directive, the server listens to the given port on all interfaces.
+ If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server will listen
+ on the given port and interface. Multiple <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directives may be used to
+ specify a number of addresses and ports to listen on. The
+ server will respond to requests from any of the listed
+ addresses and ports.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, to make the server accept connections on both
+ port 80 and port 8000, on all interfaces, use:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 80
+Listen 8000</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>To make the server accept connections on port 80 for one interface,
+ and port 8000 on another, use</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 192.0.2.1:80
+Listen 192.0.2.5:8000</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets, as in the
+ following example:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen [2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <div class="warning"><p>Overlapping <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directives will result in a
+ fatal error which will prevent the server from starting up.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>See <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotBindToAddress">the

+<h2><a name="reload" id="reload">Changing Listen configuration on restart</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>When httpd is restarted, special consideration must be made for
+ changes to <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directives. During a restart, httpd keeps ports
+ bound (as in the original configuration) to avoid generating
+ "Connection refused" errors for any new attempts to connect to the
+ server. If changes are made to the set of <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directives used
+ which conflict with the old configuration, configuration will fail
+ and the server will terminate.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, changing from configuration:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 127.0.0.1:80</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>to the following may fail, because binding to port 80 across
+ all addresses conflicts with binding to port 80 on just
+ 127.0.0.1.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 80</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>To have such configuration changes take effect, it is necessary
+ to stop and then start the server.</p>
+
+ </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div>

+<h2><a name="ipv6" id="ipv6">Special IPv6 Considerations</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>A growing number of platforms implement IPv6, and
+ <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a> supports IPv6 on most of these platforms,
+ allowing httpd to allocate IPv6 sockets, and to handle requests sent
+ over IPv6.</p>
+
+ <p>One complicating factor for httpd administrators is whether or
+ not an IPv6 socket can handle both IPv4 connections and IPv6
+ connections. Handling IPv4 connections with an IPv6 socket uses
+ IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, which are allowed by default on most
+ platforms, but are disallowed by default on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
+ OpenBSD, in order to match the system-wide policy on those
+ platforms. On systems where it is disallowed by default, a
+ special <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> parameter can change this behavior
+ for httpd.</p>
+
+ <p>On the other hand, on some platforms, such as Linux and Tru64, the
+ <strong>only</strong> way to handle both IPv6 and IPv4 is to use
+ mapped addresses. If you want <code>httpd</code> to handle IPv4 and IPv6 connections
+ with a minimum of sockets, which requires using IPv4-mapped IPv6
+ addresses, specify the <code>--enable-v4-mapped</code> <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> option.</p>
+
+ <p><code>--enable-v4-mapped</code> is the default on all platforms except
+ FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, so this is probably how your httpd was
+ built.</p>
+
+ <p>If you want httpd to handle IPv4 connections only, regardless of
+ what your platform and APR will support, specify an IPv4 address on all
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directives, as in the
+ following examples:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 0.0.0.0:80
+Listen 192.0.2.1:80</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>If your platform supports it and you want httpd to handle IPv4 and
+ IPv6 connections on separate sockets (i.e., to disable IPv4-mapped
+ addresses), specify the <code>--disable-v4-mapped</code> <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> option. <code>--disable-v4-mapped</code> is the
+ default on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.</p>
+ </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="protocol" id="protocol">Specifying the protocol with Listen</a></h2>
+
+ <p>The optional second <var>protocol</var> argument of
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>
+ is not required for most
+ configurations. If not specified, <code>https</code> is the default for
+ port 443 and <code>http</code> the default for all other ports. The
+ protocol is used to determine which module should handle a request, and
+ to apply protocol specific optimizations with the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#acceptfilter">AcceptFilter</a></code> directive.</p>
+
+ <p>You only need to set the protocol if you are running on non-standard
+ ports. For example, running an <code>https</code> site on port 8443:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Listen 192.170.2.1:8443 https</pre>
+</div>

+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="virtualhost" id="virtualhost">How This Works With Virtual Hosts</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p> The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directive does not implement
+ Virtual Hosts - it only tells the
+ main server what addresses and ports to listen on. If no
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code>
+ directives are used, the server will behave
+ in the same way for all accepted requests. However,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code>
+ can be used to specify a different behavior
+ for one or more of the addresses or ports. To implement a
+ VirtualHost, the server must first be told to listen to the
+ address and port to be used. Then a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code> section
+ should be created for the specified address and port to set the
+ behavior of this virtual host. Note that if the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code>
+ is set for an address and port that the
+ server is not listening to, it cannot be accessed.</p>
