[SOLVED] Port Number Auto Append

JJJCR · 06-20-2011, 10:06 PM

hi guys, we have centos and a win2k8 server. Our pos system is on the centos server. I created a HOST (A) record on win2k8. so users don't have to remember the ip address of the centos server.

so i created a friendly name like http://example:8080 and the POS web page will be loaded.

but my questions is it possible to configure the centos to automatically append the port number if the user type http://example the port :8080 will be auto added at the end of it.

is it possible to do this? Thanks.

Yes... you'll need to redirect the user once they hit the server on tcp/80. You can do it with html, htaccess, mod_rewite .. etc, the choice is yours.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
