How to change the apache httpd port for serving files

Currently, I have the following IP address with this port:

http://292.168.14.23/
http://292.168.14.23:80/

The above addresses behave identically and have been used for serving the local
UCSC Genome Browser.

What I want to do now is to set a new IP address, say http://292.168.14.23:8080/ — namely using 8080 as a port instead of the default 80 — that I can use to serve basic files in Apache. So when I do this:

http://292.168.14.23:8080/my_spec_dir/myfile.txt

I can navigate and download the files from the browser.
How can I do that?

Following this instruction, I tried changing this file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
with these lines:

Listen 8080
ServerName 292.168.14.23:8080

Although this address work: http://292.168.14.23:8080, I still cannot get access to the file: http://292.168.14.23:8080/my_spec_dir/myfile.txt

Note that my_spec_dir is stored under /web/html, and it is configured in httpd.conf this way: 

#
# Relax access to content within /var/www.
#
<Directory "/web/html">
    AllowOverride All
    # Allow open access:
    Require all granted
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</Directory>

    Are you sure you have added configuration override through htaccess files?

    <Directory /path/to/public/website/>
   AllowOverride All <--
   ...
</Directory>

    If you want to change global document root

    Listen 8080
ServerName 292.168.14.23
DocumentRoot "/web/html/my_spec_dir"

    Or if you want a virtualhost.

    Listen 8080
<VirtualHost 292.168.14.23:8080 >
    DocumentRoot "/web/html/my_spec_dir"
    ServerName 292.168.14.23

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
