I am running drupal on local desktop for testing purpose and was looking to use some rss feeds but it was not able to connect to them. It seems it is trying to connect to net by Port 80 but since I am under firewall, only port 8080 is open for connecting to net. How to solve this ? How to make all connections to port 80 to redirect to port 8080 ?
maybe modrewrite may work? other then that try looking at your rss readers and change the port number in them.
That won't be that simple. You will have to configure your apache to connect to the internet using a proxy.
