After installing mu LAMP stack. I have port 80 running by default athttp://127.0.1.1/

Now I want to add new ports, eg 8000, 8888.

How can I add them in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in my Ubuntu 17.04?

This is how I do it in Arch Linux:

2.2 In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, uncomment the following two lines for Proxy:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

2.3 Don't forget to add Port 443 to your listen ports in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Listen 443
Listen 8888

2.3 Add these blocks:

<VirtualHost *:8888> ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests Off ServerName ServerAlias xxxx.co.uk ProxyPass / ProxyPassReverse / SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/" SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/"
</VirtualHost>

What about the Apache in Ubuntu?

I don't even see:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

in apache2.conf in my Ubuntu 17.04.

In Ubuntu Xenial:

1. Add additional ports in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf like so:

   Listen 80
   Listen 8888

2. Now in your VirtualHost file add that port like so:

   <VirtualHost *:80 *:8888> ....
   </VirtualHost>

3. Restart apache2:

   sudo apache2ctl restart
