Subdomin with custom port?

[eggybot21]

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if it's possible to have a subdomain with custom port for example

apitrack.domain.com:6002

currently in cPanel if I created the subdomain apitrack.domain.com I want to add custom port 6002 so it can only be access with a specific port.

Can I know if you already encounter and solve this kind of setup?

TIA

HI
1. First you have to open custom port in your server firewall
2. Install Mod Proxy In Easy Apache 4
3. Modify Apache configuration.This can easily be done inside of Web Host Manager -> Apache Configuration -> Include Editor:
From here, you’re going to want to modify the Pre VirtualHost Include file with the following:it should look like as below

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.mydomain.com

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://mydomain.com:6000/ (change port and domain anme according to your need)
ProxyPassReverse / http://mydomain.com:6000/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

After change and update run following command via SSH

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
service httpd restart

Regards

Thanks for those details, @HostNoc. I would like to mention that custom configurations like that aren't something we provide support for, but should work well with the Apache include system.

@HostNoc
Thanks , the last issue which I'm not sure is on step 1
do you know any tutorial sites/videos on how to add a custom port in cPanel without CSF Firewall?

@eggybot21 - what port are you trying to add, and to what service?

 

[eggybot21]

I want add any available port for example 6002 or 6024, this will be attach for example to this sample subdomain

http://apitrack.domain.com:6002

the purpose of this port will be use to handle payloads coming from the GT02A (GPS Tracker device), currently the problem that I have with the setup is that it needs a server with port and standard port 80 and 443 is not available in the option.

I'm not sure where to add the port, but I found some steps in the net for example on this link

How To Open A Port In CentOS / RHEL 7 – The Geek Diary

A TCP/IP network connection may be either blocked, dropped, open, or filtered. These actions are generally controlled by the IPtables firewall the system uses and is independent of any process or program that may be listening on a network port. This post will outline the steps to open a port...

but since this is a server settings and not totally sure about it and I might mess up the configuration.

Thanks,

cPanel avoids adjusting the firewall as much as possible, but we do have instructions on how to do that here. Just choose the firewall you're working with and these steps will help:

You can also install CSF if you want as that is free software and gives you the graphical option to manage the firewall inside WHM.

Thanks, I will try to install CSF and check if the port will work

How-To Configure Apache Web Site to Use Multiple Ports Including 80 or 8080

A few months back I ran into the need to configure my private Website running on Apache to use multiple ports. The Internet provider for my home began to block inbound Port 80, so I had to configure Apache to use an alternate port. The process was very easy, and since I was recently asked […]

@eggybot21 - it's important to remember that you can't directly edit the Apache configuration on a cPanel server, as those updates will be overwritten as part of the nightly updates, or whenever there is an update to that specific package.

Please take a look at Advanced Apache Configuration | cPanel & WHM Documentation to see how you can create updates that will "stick"
