Port redirecting in Apache?

+5 votes
214 views

Is it possible to redirect a request for one port to another one. Say a request like HTTP://DOMAIN_NAME:3030 be accepted and redirected/mapped, so that the server should be able to process the request like HTTP://DOMAIN_NAME:3000. And a direct request like HTTP://DOMAIN_NAME:3000 should be restricted.

Is there any modules, directive in apache to achieve this.

How to route the request from apache with custom ports ( 86- http port, 4444-SSL port) to tomcat

We have a set up like Apahce (80,443) redirects the request to Tomcat (8080) using mod_jk.

The new requirement is to route the request from the same apache to another tomcat (8090). Hence I made the different config file for apache with different ports (86,4444) and different worker for mod_jk which routes the request to tomcat.

Now the issue is when I hit the url http://:86 and after providing the credentials, it is redirecting to https://:86 and throwing the below error.

Error in browser:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to x.x.x.x:86. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Error in logs:

Could you please suggest where it might went wrong and the way forward..

Worker MPM with kill in Apache

I started apache server which has worker as mpm in debug mode. I killed the process with kill -9 then it kills the process and stop debug. But when I am using kill -term PID then it is not killing process. Whereas kill -term PID is woking with prefork debug.Â
If I want to use kill -term PID in debug mode of worker then how to do that.

mod_rewrite in httpd/apache?

I am a bit confused about the mod_rewrite documentation. It shows this rule to block hotlinking:

RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!^$"
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!www.example.com" [NC]
RewriteRule ".(gif|jpg|png)$" "-" [F,NC]

however, I'd think a better rule would be:

RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "^$" [OR]
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!(www.)?example.com/.*$" [OR,NC]
RewriteRule ".(gif|jpg|png)$" "-" [F,NC]

if I want to block anyone manually typing in a link (no referer) + hotlinking (probably has a referer). Do i need the [OR] on the 1st
RewriteCond and not the 2nd one? It seems to work with OR on both conditions.
