Lynn:
The ports that Cox blocks depends on your location. For me, port 25 is
open and port 80 is blocked. 

You can change the port that Apache uses by changing the "Port" and
"Listen" parms in httpd.conf from 80 to 8080 (or some other port). After
restarting Apache,you can browse your web site by putting ":8080" in the
URL. For example, if your URL is "www.yoururl.com" use
"www.yoururl.com:8080".
