Solaris

Hi,

I need to configure a apache web server.

My server name is www.example.com

I want to use port 7001 for the http requests and not port 80.

I dont want to enter the port number when trying to access this URL.

that is instead of giving www.example.com:7001 ,i want to give only www.example.com

Is there any possibilities for this.

What changes i need to do in httpd.conf to achieve this.

Can any Unix expert help me in this..??

Helo.
Yes. That is possible. You need to configure, anyway, an httpd server listening on port 80, and then redirect to the port you want. I think you could achieve this by configuring virutual hosts, but the config depends on your apache version.

The simplest way to achieve this is to use IPFilter to relay traffic from port 80 to whatever port you like. You may need to download it if using Solaris < 10, but it is available by searching the web. I have used it in the past for this very purpose.

Yes, that's true. If you have that possibility, it's the simplest way!
