How to set port for php project? - php

Question

My php project by default has port:80, I need to make it any port above 1024.
I have multiple files in my project, when I try to make something like
"myproject/item/1" it responds with error 404 even if I have this URI in my routes.
On the other hand, when I start project by typing php -S localhost:8050, and do like "myproject:8050/item/1" everything works perfectly. I use method from some dude in github to create php projects, by default it copies /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf, where default port is *80.
I need to make first example "myproject/item/1" working properly
P.S. I don't want to change 000-default file, because I don't want all my projects to be broken.

For HTTP, browser by default is sending request to port 80, if you want run your project under another port you always need to specify that in request URI.
You need to create new configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available eg. myproject.conf which may look like this:
Listen 8050
NameVirtualHost *:8050
<VirtualHost *:8050>
ServerName myproject
ServerAlias www.myproject
DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject
<Directory /var/www/myproject>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>
save, and enable your vhost by typing a2ensite myproject.conf, reload or restart apache and that's it.
Another way is create an alias in default configuration:
Alias /myproject "/var/www/myproject/"
<Directory /var/www/myproject>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
That way, your project will be accessible by requesting like http://{your_server_addr}/myproject without specifying port.
