re: Port number

[ses123]

I am running apache on a different port other than 80. Say 1234. How do i eliminate the need to type port number at the end of the url everytime I view the site? Like

http://sitename

instead of

http://sitename:1234

You should be able to accomplish this using a proxy and mod_rewrite.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

# .cgi rewrite example

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80>
ServerAdmin admin@domain.com
DocumentRoot /

http://www/domain.com/htdocs

ServerName domain.com
CustomLog /

http://www/domain.com/logs/access_log

combined

RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache-proxy/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.cgi(.*)$

http://domain.com:8080/$1.cgi$2

[P]
ProxyRequests Off
</VirtualHost>

You could use a service from some registrar or DNS provider, such as DynDNS.org. They can redirect your visitors to your actual site, complete with a port number.
