sorry, maybe my english is not that good. there is a misunderstanding from you.
my question is about, there are alot of unwanted incoming traffic going to the site which i had deleted.
Error 404 is showing on that site right now, but the unwanted traffic is still growing, n growing.
This make the apache is handling heavily traffic,
so as the traffic.
anyway we can block them to attemp the port 80.
Is your apache listening on other ports?
Change your apache config so that it does not listen to port 80.
Assuming your config file is at /usr/local/apache/conf/htt
look for the line:
Port 80
Comment this line.
If you want apache to run but listen on another port, you need to add
that number to your config. For example, if you want apache to listen
on port 8000, change the above line to:
Port 8000
Restart your apache.
Check if you have a file called /etc/services on your system. Look for
lines with '80/tcp' and '80/udp' and comment those lines.
Restart inetd.
What does virtual host have anything to do with blocking port 80?
If 8000 doesn't work for you, you can use any other suitable number
that works.
What exactly are you trying to do? Without enough info it is difficult
to understand your problem, let alone suggest a solution that
works for you.
Based on what you have provided so far, I have provided my comments.
If you want to block port 80, change the default port number in httpd.conf
to something of your choice (doesn't have to be 8000).
Also, block port 80 in /etc/services file.

Add this line to httpd.conf
ErrorDocument 404 404.html
This should do it.
Any 404 errors will show 404.html file.
thanks
