Loading API into port on DigitalOcean cassette

Question

I'm not sure if I used the right jargon, but hopefully my question is clear. I'm trying to load an API, I made use of Laravel in port on my DigitalOcean drop.

Basically, when I connect to ***.***.***.***:port, I want it to connect to my API.

I created a file .conffor my api, which is below:

Listen ***.***.***.***:8037
<VirtualHost ***.***.***.***:8037>
ServerName www.name.lk
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/hotelguide/public"
<Directory /var/www/html/hotelguide/public>
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Require all granted
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This file is placed in /etc/apache2/sites-available

I used 8037 as a random port.

I read about this: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/bind.html , as it seems to contain what I want, but when I edit etc/apache2/ports.confand I add Listen 8037and restart the service.

But then I visit ***.***.***.***:8037and I get Forbidden 403 error.

UPDATE: , @katie. , , Forbidden 403. nmap netstat
