How is a file hosted on one particular port vs another port? In order to get my flex program to do anything, even on localhost, I apparently have to accomplish this, but although I know how to FTP my crossdomain.xml to my GoDaddy server, I don't even begin to understand the meaning of hosting it on port 843. I don't even know where to start. Can anybody here even get my foot in the door?

Thanks in advance.

  • What kind of services are you interacting with? Is the port number being hard-coded somewhere in your Flex application? – cliff.meyers Feb 18 '10 at 07:50

It means that you need to create a website that listens to that port, and then serve the file from that website.

  • The way that I create a "website" is by uploading html and php to my server, how do I control what "port" that is "served" from? – Joshua Feb 18 '10 at 01:21
  • That is not creating a website. That is uploading content to an existing website. Since you are talking about a hosting company, I think they are the best resource for this. – Gabriel McAdams Feb 18 '10 at 01:25
  • Well how would I go about doing it on localhost for example? – Joshua Feb 18 '10 at 01:28
  • it depends on your system. If you're running windows server, and IIS, then you can create a new website, and specify the port in the properties window. I'm not sure how to do it in Linux. – Gabriel McAdams Feb 18 '10 at 01:55
  • Using Apache, add `Listen 843` to `httpd.conf`. – mark4o Feb 18 '10 at 04:22
