Subject: All calls redirecting to backend port

Hello all,
I'm completely new to Varnish, if this is a silly question I apologize and ask 
to please be directed to a newbie forum.

Anyway, I've a LAMP server on which I'm testing Varnish. Apache is set to port 
8008 in ports-conf and 000-default, Varnish is set to listen on port 80 in 
/etc/default/varnish and told that the backend is on port 8008 in default.vcl.

Everything seems to be working, Varnishhist and Live Headers confirm that 
Varnish is caching the frontpage, but clicking on any link redirects the URL to 
the backend port, bypassing Varnish.
E.g. clicking on link from the front page to 
http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?item=1234 sends the browser to 
http://www.mysite.com:8008/mypage.php?item=1234.
If I manually enter the URL in the browser without the port number then the 
page loads through Varnish just fine, but clicking any link automatically 
appends the port number.

I assume this is a configuration error, any ideas what's going on and how I can 
fix it?
It’s a server configuration error.  Assuming varnish & apache are on the same 
server

-          varnish listening on the public IP address port 80

-          apache listening on 127.0.0.1 on port 80.  If it’s on a separate 
server, modify Apache to listen on port 80 on the secondary server’s IP
Otherwise you get apache serving links via Varnish and it will put the 
non-standard port it thinks it sits on.

Stephen
