[users@httpd] connecting to another port via port 80
Hi all
I am running an apache server on my computer and I am also running chat
server on the same computer. The chat server's http-polling is at port 5280
. what I want to do is, I have a web chat client and that client should
access the http-polling at chat server through port 80 because I think is it
not a better idea to provide permission to access port 5280 directly. I have
add following to my httpd.conf file but after restarting apache and when I
go to access the 5280, it says access denied. So please somebody just give
me some help to solve this problem.
name of my chat server-->nishantha-LSF
the webclient is at -->/var/www/xmpp/code
my document root /var/www
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName nishantha-LSF
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory /var/www/xmpp/code>
Options +Indexes +MultiViews
</Directory>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/ [P]
</VirtualHost>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regards
Nishantha

Instead of the RewriteRule (which doesn't seem at all correct), use
ProxyPass /http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/
ProxyPassReverse /http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/
