Hello,  
I am new to this. I would like to Install on my Local Ubuntu 20 server with Multiple IPs.  
I want to Install on 1 IP & NOT the ROOT IP. My question is, do I Install as /var/discourse ? Or the Root as is said in apache2 file of the IP , which is → Document Root /home/$User/web/$IPaddess/public\_html/ ?

You install on `/var/discourse` like normal

and you make sure that Apache2 does [not bind](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/bind.html) to the Discourse IP,  
and that Discourse Docker/nginx does [not bind](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-docker/9781786462923/791cce99-14be-4128-a0d9-e85e1c0ed8a0.xhtml) to the “root” IP where Apache2 is at.

Hello,  
I have just tried to Install it. But it did Not like Apache 🙁 So, my question is where in the Base Code could I Change theListen PORTs from 80 to 88 etc ? I could then git from a Fork If that is possible 🤔

Hi Sid,

You may want to read [Set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-discourse-on-a-server-with-existing-apache-sites/30013) 🙂
