[users@httpd] Apache on a Non-Standard Port
Hi group,
I am new to apache and would like to host my own web
site using apache. The site is a personal site wherein
it will showcase mostly family related info, pictures
and other stuffs.
Most cable ISP's blocks port 80 so I bound my apache
using a Non-Standard Port which work. My question, is
there a way on the httpd.conf file to enable or to
configure so that people won't have to type in
http://www.my-site.com:8080 everytime they want to
access my site?
I tried accessing apache using http://www.my-site.com
but I only get server busy and could not get through.
Is there a better solution to this, or do I have to
deal with it by adding the non standard port on the
browser?
Hope someone would enlighten me on this one. Thanks in
advance.
Servie

Re: [users@httpd] Apache on a Non-Standard Port - follow-up question.
Posted by InHisGrip <se...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply.
Currently, I have paid a third party dns provider,
dyndns.org to do this and as a matter of fact, I have
configured my linksys router to do port forwarding to
port 8080 for example. Likewise, enabled DDNS Service
on the linksys router.
Now, everytime I check locally the site,
http://192.168.1.10:8090 for instance I could access
the site. And on the outside, could only access it
through www.my-site.com:8080 and not www.my-site.com?
My problem is, since I paid for the service with
dyndns.org. Could your suggestion also be done with
dyndns.org and using my linksys router? I don't see
any tabs about web forward in their site.
Has anyone done this at dyndns.org successfully before
I switch or make a domain transfer to zoneedit.com?
Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks again.

InHisGrip,
I think you'll want to use a third-party DNS service like zoneedit
(www.zoneedit.com) to handle the non-standard port. I use zoneedit on
one of my servers and I've used a non-standard port (8080) on apache so
I know this works. Try this:
1. Go to zoneedit and sign up
2. Config apache to listen to 8080 (done)
3. Check to see if Apache works in a browser by using a URL:
http://3.4.5.6:8080/. Use the port number that you're listening on and
the real IP address of your machine.
4. Add the "IP Address" for your web server in ZoneEdit:
"ww2.my-site.com.com" points to "ip address".
5. Add a Web Forward entry for your domain called "www.domainname.com"
that points to http://ww2.my-site.com:8080/
You can turn cloaking off. This lets people know thay are going to
http://ww2.my-site.com:8080 is usually OK, and it allows the browser to
perform better.
I hope this helps.

[users@httpd] Apache on a Non-Standard Port - follow-up question.
Posted by InHisGrip <se...@yahoo.com>.
Hi group,
I have configured my apache manually and specified
port 8080 instead of port 80 on the httpd.conf file.
So my main is www.my-site.com:8080. I have also
enabled port forwarding on my router and specified
port 8080 for web connection.
The follow-up question is, the main site is accessible
from the Internet e.g. http://www.my-site.com:8080.
Now, if I try and access this site from outside my
small home network, e.g. http://www.my-site.com, I get
a server busy reply.
The question is if it would be possible for others to
access my site, by just typing http://www.my-site.com?
The apache server is working and could be accessed
readily, however, I am just curious if it would be
possible or is there a work around this limitation?
Sometimes, people tend not to include the port number
8080 suffix after the domain name which could not get
resolved.
As suggested by Jeetu, he mentioned about doing a
proxy pass. Is this also included in one of the
directives in the httpd.conf file? How do I proxypass
my main wwww.my-site.com:8080 so that everytime others
type in www.my-site.com, they could connect?
Sorry folks, if I may have asked this question the
second time around, but I am no linux nor apache
expert like most of you guys and have no idea where to
look for the solution. Your inputs could make a big
difference in this family oriented project of mine.
Thanks very much Jeetu on your helpful tips. Hope to
hear from you guys soon.

the http protocol specifies the default port here to be 80
if you want to connect to any other port, you will have to write it there
otherwise, if you have some other site under your control, hosted on port 80,
put a proxypass from that site to yours
eg. http://second.stie.com is your second site visible at port 80
put
proxypass /private http://www.my-site.com:8080
in your config
to get http://second.stie.com/private as http://www.my-site.com:8080
