Thanks for your reply!

Apache  doesn't run nor any other httpd service. And yes, when defining port
80 in the sshd_config file I did re-start the whole box! Also when I go via
a browser to my server it displays:

SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.8
Protocol mismatch.

is that due to the port 80 I defined in the sshd_config file? Does
this make sense?

Thanks for your attention
