[rt-users] Move web port

Wed Apr 3 11:51:41 EDT 2013

As it happens I never got the Redirect command to work properly, but a single web page delivered by apache2 on 8080 that redirects to 80 wound up doing the same trick. I got in a hurry last night and nearly forgot about the listen directive, which in my config goes in ports.conf. D’oh. ☺

But thanks again Aaron!

I’m about to set up our building manager with his own queue for non-IT workorders, so we’re going to get a lot of use out of RT!

Yes,

You need to add another LISTEN Directive to httpd.conf.  At the moment it will be a single LISTEN 80.  You'd need to add 8080 and then configure a virtualhost similar to this.

Mind it may need a bit of tweaking as only bashed that out from memory.

<VirtualHost *:8080>

  ServerName www.example.com:8080<http://www.example.com:8080>

  Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/

</VirtualHost>

Right, except that I’ve already “released it to the public” with 8080, so I was just trying to find a quick way to do a redirect. A second VirtualHost listening on 8080 and serving a single web page with a redirect to 80 would seem to me to be the way to do it, or is there another way?

Hi John,

The general idea is that you would configure a virtualhost on apache as per the guides.  This would then be listening on port 80 by default.  You would then shutdown the built in/standalone server you are currently running on port 8080.  This would then mean you can access your RT on port 80 via Apache once your vhost is setup correctly.

I am using the Plack server, but if I'm reading everything correctly, I should be disabling *THAT* and modify the Apache config files to be doing the web service at port 80? Then I could use a VirtualHost directive in an Apache config file on 8080 that redirects to 80, right?

I've been using a stock Ubuntu 12.04 system for hosting rt. I'm at a point where I think I'd like to get rid of apache/apache2 and whatever else might be running, and let rt run on port 80 (until now it's been on port 8080). Is there a way to allow rt to listen on both, or redirect traffic from 8080 to 80 after I shut down and disable apache?

How are you running RT?  Normally, RT runs in conjunction with apache.

You certainly can run it standalone for small installs using just a plack server.  I suggest having a look at the deployment docs and figuring out your current configuration.
