I have 2 virtual hosts serving 2 different sites in my Ubuntu Server 20.04 both in port 80 and 443.

I want to use the same server to serve some static files for download on a custom port, let's say 8080.

I added a share_backup_folder.conf configuration file on my /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following content:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerName vpsxxxxx.ovh.net
        DocumentRoot /var/www/backup

        Alias /backup /var/www/backup
        <Directory /var/www/backup>
                Require all granted
                Options +Indexes
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I enabled it with sudo a2ensite share_backup_folder and restart apache2 sudo systemctl restart apache2 with no errors.

When I wget vpsxxxxx.ovh.net:8080/backup/example_file.tar.gz it fails with Connection refused

What am I missing here?

Thank you.

You probably miss a

Listen 8080
