Changing default port used by Apache

Not sure if this is the right way to do it, searching the blogoshpere seems to indicate that this might be the case.

Steps to change default port that Apache listens on:

As good practice make a copy of the file ports.conf to somewhere safe. Like

mkdir ~/bak
cp /etc/apache2/ports.conf ~/bak

Open and edit ports.conf, like sudo vim /etc/apache2/ports.conf.
In Ubuntu 12.10, change Listen 80 to Listen 81. This should be around line 9, of course change 81 to a value that you need.
Restart Apache to enforce the changes, like sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message.
