All,

Hello. I currently have XOOPS up and running on my home web site. I am trying to convert my site from TCP 80 to TCP 8080. I configured Apache to handle everything ok, but I need to convert XOOPS to listen (and present links) as TCP 8080.

I re-read the installation guide and saw the option to select a port number. However, I have an existing site with a large image gallery that I don't want to re-upload if I blow something up! Is there a quick & dirty way to configure XOOPS to answer on www.website.com:8080 instead of www.website.com?

I can provide more information as necessary. I figured I'd test the waters with a basic question before we dig deeper...

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ronman

Maybe you can use apache mod_rewrite, config .htaccess or httpd.conf, like:



Good Luck.

What might be easier than what you're trying to do, would be to go to your firewall and tell it to forward all the incoming traffic on port 8080 to your webserver on port 80.

If you mangle the packets there and set apache back to listening to port 80, you don't have to ever think about this again.
