Apache keeps adding 8080 port by itself while I'm telling it to use 80 only

Question

Here's my httpd.conf. Inside it, I have the following in place

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
#Listen 127.0.0.1:8887
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
#Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
Listen 192.168.1.4:80

and I have a .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^wordpress(.*)$ wp-oct/live$1

in my local www folder with wordpress installed in /wp-oct/live/ to which /wordpress/ is supposed to redirect to, but it doesn't. It instead redirects to http://localhost:8080/wp-oct/live/. Why is 8080 showing up?

Answer 1

I see you've already solved it, but for anyone who comes across this post, one way to troubleshoot this is to mod_info to pull up the server info page (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_info.html) and then search for 8080 to see where 8080 might be getting defined.
