Help with apache conf

Can anyone help out with configuring my Apache server? I am running
Apache/1.3.33.

What I want to do is have apache listen on ports 80 and 5090. Any
traffic that comes to port 80, I want to sent it to port 5090. Why?
Because my ISP throttles port 80 and my upload it real bad. I just
want to run a small site for the family. Port 5090 doesn't get
throttled.

What I tried to do is:

1. Add to Listen directives.
Listen 80
Listen 5090

2. Comment out the Port directive.
# Port 80

3. Added a VirtualHost.
NameVirtualHost *:5090


ServerAdmin FooBar@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /www/mysite
ServerName mysite.dyndns.org
ServerAlias www.mysite.com mysite.com # these are two domains I registered
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access_log common


So, I have a domain name registered we will call mysite. That domain
redirects to mysite.dyndns.org. Dyndns.org will always send to my
public IP since I run the dyndns client. I opened ports 80 and 5090 on
my firewall. When I comment out the directives in step #3, apache
starts, though it doesn't do what I want. When I uncomment the
directives from step #3, apache won't start.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry if this post shows up bad. I am on my Intel Mac and I don't have
a usenet posting client setup yet, so I am posting with a client made
for binaries.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will add that.

Will do.

I ran httpd -t and the conf file parsed fine. Running apachectl start
just give this:

Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/jim.conf
Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/nora.conf
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I will try adding the port 80 vhost.

Doh! I am used to Linux. I didn't check the error log which is in a
new location from apache on linux. Checking that, apache couldn't
write to the access/error logs because the logs directory for the VHost
didn't exist. Sorry about my stupidity today :-)

After fixing that, everything is up and running well now with both
Vhosts. So thanks for the help.

One last Q. Is there any way to tell Apache to send any traffic on
port 80 to 5090? For example, if a request comes it for:
http://mysite.com/foo/bar.jpg
I want apache to make it to:
http://mysite.com:5090/foo/bar.jpg.

Thanks again,

Jim
