Title: http port forwarding
Post by: ProStar on December 30, 2002, 06:10:08 PM

Hello,

I'm a home user with a cable provider that's blocks all ports below 1024. To circumvent this, I would like to have my http, ftp and https on ports above 1024.
I've only tried to get it working with http up till now, but even that does not seems to work.

For the http port, I can change the templates, and this works. However, this introduces a lot of problems since other modules seem to depend on the webserver being available on port 80.

The most easy and proper way to me seems to do local portforwarding (80->1080).
However when I try to do this with the portforwarding and the portopening panel, this does not seem to work (e.g. portforwarding from 1080 to 127.0.0.1:80 and opening port 1080 does not seem to work).

What do I have to do, or what do I do wrong? Or is there a better way to do this?

Other information:
- Currently testing on a fresh 5.5 machine
- Updated with 5.5_1
- RPMs/panels installed: portforwarding, portopening, webconsole, samba 2.2.7, server-control, update-rpms

Tnx,
prostar

I believe ProxyPass will do what you want.
