Avoiding the :port on a URL

[Ryan Kogelheide]

By default Oracle iAS installs Apache on port 7777. The client doesn't like to have to enter the port number in the URL.

Oracle says that Apache has to be started from root if using port 80, and I'd really rather not mess with the system as it's 24x7.

Is there any easy way to route port 80 to 7777? Or does anyone have any other ideas for satisfying the client in a simple manner?

Ryan,

Make the home page (port 80) redirect to port 7777, or change the configuration file. But this means all http requests will be redirected to 7777.

Assuming your clients are on a different subnet separated by a router then just ask your network guy to do it at the router. It's called PAT which is a subset of NAT.
