Hello. I’m trying to install discourse on my server. I have an apache server currently running on port 80 and 443 at /var/www I want to install discourse to run at port 8080 for HTTP (I don’t care for https at the moment) I have set the app.yml file to be: 8080:81 and I’ve tried 8080:8080. I ha…

I don’t think we support running on a different port, you will need to proxy requests instead. There are howto topics on it here.

I thought there was a way to run on different ports. I’ve been reading multiple howto topics, but none of say instructions how to directly do it with apache. I did throe get discourse running on a VM so it seems it is working.

I think what you want to do is to expose 8080:80 and then have Apache reverse-proxy forum.yourdomain.com to port 8080.
