To enable port 80 on
Windows Server 2008 R2:
NOTE: This assumes that
IIS is not installed. I added this firewall rule to enable
Apache to accept connections on port 80.
- Click Start->Control Panel->Windows Firewall
- Click "Advanced Settings" in the left panel of Windows Firewall
- Click "Inbound rules" in the left panel of Advanced Settings
- Click "New Rule..." in right "Actions" panel
- Select "Port" and click "Next>"
- Select "TCP", then "Specific local ports:" (should already be selected)
- Type 80 in the box (just the number) and click "Next>"
- Select "Allow the connection" and click "Next>"
- Leave all profiles checked and click "Next>"
- Enter a name and click "Finish".
Your server should now be able to accept connections on port 80.
