Hi!

I am a Linux newbie...I currently am using Apache 1.3.19 on SuSe 7.0.

I'm not too sure on what it is called in the Linux/Apache world but I will give you the scenario.

Currently my company is forwarding all http requests to myserver.mycompanydomain.com. I currently also have my own private domain, which say is myserver.mydomain.com, which all requests are going to the same machine.

I would like to direct (or redirect, if that's what it's called) all requests from http://myserver.mycompanydomain.com, to my private domain, that is also on the same machine but controlled by another version of Apache, that is listening for another port, to, let's say, http://myserver.mydomain.com:8005.

Anyone know if it is the httpd.conf file that controls this or do I have to get BIND involved, which I would prefer to avoid.

I really appreciate your help in advance!

Best Regards,

Jason

before you start redirecting to http://a.b.c:8005

have you looked into Apache name-based webservers..
where you can setup many virtual hosts with different names/domain names but still using one IP address and listening on the same port 80.

Or do you actually want to forward/redirect it to another port?

Hi!

Thanks for your reply! Actually, I just want to forward it to another port.

Thanks again for your help!

Best Regards,

Jason

If I can understand what you say:
- you have only 1 machine (IP 1.2.3.4)
- you want redirect any connection to port 80 from that machine to itself to port 8005
If it's right you just need DNAT (http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliabl....linuxdoc.html):
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i lo+ -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-port 8005
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 1.2.3.4 -s 1.2.3.4 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-port 8005

If your intention is to redirect to port 8005 any connection to server named myserver.mydomain.com I _strongly_ suggest virtual host as from previus post.
