apache port forwarding.

sraju · 10-25-2006, 08:07 AM

Hi,

I have a web service running on linux box running on port 14001. I want Apache to forward any request coming to port 80 to be forwarded to 14001 and vice versa.

Is it possible. I dont want to configure IP tables to do port forwarding as any requesting coming to this IP will validate himself against IP table.

Thanks in advance.
Raju.

well apache doesn't port forward but it can use the proxypass and reverseproxypass directives to do internal (or external) http proxying to other servers on other ports.

You should be able to accomplish this with mod_proxy in Apache.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

that's what i said, hick! most of the mod_proxy config is for the more advanced proxying, and the basics being requested here are all done with the two directives in a virtualhost and nothing else.

I don't see mod_proxy mentioned there?

And stop calling me hick!
