How to forward port in apache2 cookbook - apache

Question

I tried with below code in apache cookbook to map default port 80 to 443 however still I get error while running the chef. Can you please suggest on this. I tried to map to other than port # 80 since I have nginx recipe also in my cookbook so would like to set up apache2 to listen on diff port -
* apache/attribute/default.rb
default['apache']['dir'] = '/etc/apache2'
default['apache']['listen_ports'] = [ '80','443' ]
* apache/recipes/default.rb
package "apache2" do
action :install
end
service "apache2" do
action [:enable, :start]
end
template "/var/www/index.html" do
source "index.html.erb"
mode "0644"
end
Vagrant provision error -
================================================================================
==> default:
==> default: Error executing action `start` on resource 'service[apache2]'
==> default:
================================================================================
==> default:
==> default: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed
==> default:
==> default: ------------------------------------
==> default:
==> default: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
This time I had used ==>
attribute/default.rb with below content but still getting error -
default['apache']['dir'] = '/etc/apache2'
default['apache']['listen_ports'] = [ '81’ ]
Error
==> default: STDOUT: * Starting web server apache2
==> default:
==> default: Action 'start' failed.
==> default: The Apache error log may have more information.
==> default: ...fail!
==> default: STDERR: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
==> default: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

listen_ports is not a mapping, it sets which ports to listen on. If you don't want to listen on 80, do not include it in that array.
