How to get TCAdmin to work on port 80?

[7calories]

Hello,

I was told that if I could get TCAdmin to work on port 80, then I wouldn't need to put in a port hwen I try to access the CP through the URL. Anyone know how to do this? I already bought a dedicated server with nothing on it to install this. I just want to be able to go to cp.mydomain.com without having to enter a port.

 

Thanks!

You need to edit the configuration file which is in Tcadmin /Monitor folder.

 

edit the tcadmin-config file.

 

###############################

# CONTROL PANEL WEBSITE PORT #

###############################

# This should NOT be the same #

# as the monitor port. #

###############################

WEB_PORT="8880"

 

change the WEB_PORT to 80

I tried that and its still not working for some reason. All other ports will work, except for port 80 and there is nothing listening on 80. Anything else you can recommend?

did you restart the monitor after configuring this?

Are you sure that you don't have apache running? ( if a linux machine).

 

If you rented a vps somewhere they usually have apache pre-installed.

try executing

 

service httpd status

Yes, the monitor was restarted many times after configuration and its a bare machine with really nothing pre-installed.

 

Also, the service httpd status shows "stopped" so its off .

 

I've been working on this for awhile and I just can't seem to get it working.

Can you try binding tcadmin to another port? Just to see if the port change is working?

If your server has Linux setting on port 80 is not going to work because the website runs as the tcadmin user not as root. Normal users can't open ports lower than 1024.

 

Leave it on 8880 and use Iptables to forward port 80 to 8880. You can do the same with ftp. Forward port 21 to 8821.

 

You can find help on port forwarding with iptables on google.

Hi LFA, that was the answer I was looking for! I am going to try it to see if it works .

 

Goran, I appreciate the help too!

 

I'll update this if I run into any problems .

How would you forward the ports using server 2008 r2?

[LFA]

No need to forward ports on Windows. Just change the standard port from 8880 to 80
