Currently the wiki and the profile manager runs on port 443 (ssl).

We have other services using port 443 on our network, and therefore I cannot port forward that port to my Lion Server.

How can I get the wiki and the profile manager to run on a port other than port 443?

So I decided to research "Apache" without specifying "OS X" in my research.

I found that you can change the listen port in a conf file

$ mdfind httpd-ssl.conf

    # Found
    # /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

$ cd /private/etc/apache2.extra
$ sudo nano httpd-ssl.conf

    # ctrl + w
    # 443

    # Change Listen 443 to Listen 4444
    # ctrl + o
    # ctrl + x

note: enabling root would allow you to listen on port 444

This is only possible in Snow Leopard server and not Lion Server (I think).

It may only be possible via a GUI on Snow Leopard, but I'm fairly confident that changes can be made via Terminal since both OS's use Apache to serve web. – Chase Florell Jan 16 '12 at 22:05
I can sudo nano httpd.conf and change the default listen port for 80 but I can't find the directive for 443. – Chase Florell Jan 16 '12 at 22:10
found it - see my answer. – Chase Florell Jan 16 '12 at 22:19
