I am trying to setup the "Trac" tool in a standalone fashion using apache2.
I have done many of the changes suggested in various forums, but still unlucky.

Here is my problem:
I have setup a localhost in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (and ofcourse sites-available) as www.oms.domain.com
if I type "http://www.oms.domain.com", then the default "It Works !!!" page is opening. but if I specify the port also, like "http://www.oms.domain.com:8080", then the intended server page is opening.

Any method to get rid of this, as its quite annoying and I dont want the user to know the port in which it is running, though it really doesn't matter.

Sorry if it is answered some thread already, but I couldn't locate though.

i *think* i understand what you are saying.....so.....
post relevant section of your apache config.
you could also of course use iptables for forwarding to the given port.

(only the portions which I felt might be of use. incase you need anymore, let me know)

Here is my apache2.conf

hang on...why are you typing port 8080??
what is listening on that port and where?

my Trac tool is running on port 8080 as a stand-alone.
Command: "tracd --port 8080 /path/to/MyEnv"

By the way, how do I do port forwarding using iptables?

tracd is a standalone web server for the trac application. Its so you don't have to go through the trouble of setting up a full web server (like apache) to access it.


You have several options:

1. Don't run apache and change the tracd port to 80 (tracd --port 80 /path/to/MyEnv"). Then tracd will be listening on the default port and answering requests on this server.

2. Configure apache to proxy requests to tracd. Then you could setup http://www.oms.domain.com or http://www.oms.domain.com/trac to send requests to tracd listening on 8080.

3. Use apache + the standard Trac CGI's instead of tracd.
