Web server on Cox

Just remember that when you give your people a URL to your web server
listening to port 8090, the link is:
http://[youripaddress]:8090/page.html

The simple solution is to just run Apache on a higher port. Cox usually
only=20
blocks the standard ports like 80 and 25. If you have Apache running =
on,=20
say, port 8090, then it won't be blocked. This isn't feasible if you =

random people to go to your website, but if your audience is all friends =
and

family, you can just tell them the port number along with your URL.
