<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You can set Varnish to connect to any
port when you set your backend directive. As far as Varnish on
Port 80, that is always required for a webserver, unless you want
a URL that needs to specify a port (ie: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.example.com:81">http://www.example.com:81</a>
- or whatever port you want). <br>
<br>
Make sure you have Apache listening on port 8080 in your Apache
config. You really don't need to open up that port in IPTables,
since it is a local connection between Varnish and Apache, but you
do need to make sure that Apache is also listening on localhost. <br>
<br>
To make sure Apache is listening on the proper port, go into a
command line and type:<br>
<br>
lynx localhost:8080.<br>
<br>
That will bring up the text web browser Lynx. If it isn't
installed, go ahead and install it with apt-get, yum or whatever
package installer you have. All major distributions have it open.
That will tell you if the webserver is actually able to connect to
Apache or not. <br>
<br>
Also make sure that Apache isn't also trying to listen on port 80.
Look at the listen directive in your apache config file. So you
want listen like this:<br>
<br>
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080.<br>
<br>
If you're using virtual hosts, make sure to specify the port in
the VHost declaration:<br>
<br>
<VirtualHost *:8080><br>
<br>
What you're trying to achieve is having all connections to Apache
go through Varnish, as Varnish functions as a proxy server to
Apache.<br>

I am planning to use Varnish 3.0.3 with Drupal 7.15.<br>
I hope both of these are compatible.., any input highly
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Varnish binds to two ports 6081, 6082.<br>
I read somewhere we need to run Varnish in port 80 and apache in
8080 and accordingly we need to configure.<br>
<br>
If I do that, I am unable to access the site. Is it required to
open port 8080 in firewall.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
