Topic: forwarding a webserver.

[Andre Bos]

I am running e-smith 4.0. It's just humming allong .... great product.
Now my problem...

I have another linux box here, that is running a development website and i want it forwarded to the outside so that some other developers can see what they are doing. Ftp acces would be great to. This doesn't have to be on the standard ports.

For example:

I want to forward a local webserver running on port 80 (standard) to the outside on port 81.

I tried the example that is present on the webboard but that doesn't seem to fuction?
anyone an idea.......

Hi,

I'm not sure what the example on the webboard is, but the tool you need is port forwarding.
If it's just http you need from another machine you can also use URL rewriting, for this check the apache website (http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html)

good luck,

Niels

Indeed, i know that i need port forwarding... But if you follow the examples that reside here on the webboard, it just does'nt work.
And i was hoping for some ftp-acces for those people as well.

The forwarding i need is like this.

http://internal:80 <->http://external:81
ftp://internal:XX<->ftp://external:xx (as long as it isn't port 21)

As you can see it isn't just port forwarding, but also a "port redirection"

Yours truly
