Run TCAdmin without port number in URL?

[GazCBG]

Hi,

 

At the moment I have IP:8880 and sub.domain:8880

I would like it to run as sub.domain without the port number.

So am thinking about using Nginx

 

When using Nginx do I need to use sub.domain:PORT or will sub.domain work without port number?

If not I presume I mix both the Port redirect and Nginx?

I will answer my own question as I just did it.

You need Nginx and also re-route port 80 to 8880.

 

Note: Anything already running on port 80 will most likely stop.

You can also do this with an SRV record, for example my domain name provider, Namecheap, allow you to reroute udp or tcp ports against an A record. This is the best method if you don't want to hinder other traffic on port 80
