After that you have to set the ZoneMinder software to use the same ports. According to a snippet on the ZoneMinder website the web config is Apache2. There are many ways to make Apache use a different port, but this is what I copied off the ZoneMinder website: 1- backup and edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf with nano, then change both "NameVirtualHost *:80" and "Listen 80" to the new port we may need; 2- backup and edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default with nano, and change "" to reflect the new port; 3- restart apache a la red hat way: "service apache2 restart"; yes, it restarted with no complains ! The last command is probably "invoke-rc.d apache2 restart" for your system.
