Server Via Port Number

NZ_Kiwis

I've unblocked my port added port forwarding but it goes to my index folder, how can I redirect it to my assigned sub folder

http://123.123.12.123:1547 goes to www/photos

Which webserver are you using? Assuming Apache, you could use the <VirtualHost> directive to create a virtual host listening on that port. Quick example:

<VirtualHost *:1547>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "C:/path/to/www/photos"
    ServerName photos.localhost
    ServerAlias photos.localhost
    ErrorLog "logs/photos.error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/photos.access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

I'm using WAMPServer which is based on Apache, so I would load this into the Apache Config file? and the 1547 om <VirtualHost *:1547> would be the port number?

Yes - the Apache directives would go either in the main httpd.conf file or in a subsequently included .conf file (e.g. "extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" as with recent installs of Apache 2.2).

Yes - the just means "bind to any available IP" and the numbers following the colon would be the port number.
