It's customary for port 80 to be used for HTTP.  The use of any other
port means that the browser has to specify the port number in the
request.  Since it's customary, it's *often* not necessary for the port
to be specified in configuration files.

e.g. http://www.example.com/ uses port 80

     http://localhost:631/ uses port 631, because it's explictly stated.

You'd forward port 80 through your modem/router to the web server
computer, and allow port 80 through any firewalls.
