Hi Ravikanth:
The default behaviour of Apache is to listen on port 80 on "all" addresses !
It is also possible to configure multiple Apaches to run on the same machine
with different global configurations on different ports or addresses.
The Listen directive commonly used in httpd.conf instructs Apache
to listen to more than one IP address or port; by default it responds
to requests on all IP interfaces, but only on the port given by the Port
directive.
One approach to address the issue you are facing would be -
1. to write a small test script which attempts to bind to a specific interface
and port. If the bind() fails then your application exits with an error
notification.
2. add code to your installation script to ask the user the administrator for
the
interface ipaddress on which the application is supposed to listen to.
Hope this helps.
thanks
Saifi.
