Gosh, this is becoming a *very* frequently asked question. I'm not
sure where we can improve the documentation to make it clearer, though.
Use the "Listen" directive to configure the port that Apache listens
on, and use the "Port" directive to configure the port that Apache
uses to refer to itself.
e.g. with
Listen 8000
Port 80
Apache accepts requests on port 8000 but when generating redirects or
other self-referential URLs it uses port 80. This is designed to work
in exactly your situation.
