I’m running Oracle Collab Suite on port 7777 and 7778. Oracle installed
its own Apache and hacking it has proven to be difficult. For one thing,
I can’t seem to get VirtualHost to work correctly. Since it doesnt use
port 80 by default, I decided to put nginx in front of it. I managed to
proxy pass port 80 to 7778. However, it doesnt stop there. Here’s how
things are now.
My mail is pointed to the following URL:
http://mail.domain.com:7778/ocsclient/
My conferencing portal is pointed to:
http://mail.domain.com:7778/imtapp/app/prelogin.uix
As you can see, the URLs are pointed to mail because that’s what the
machine name is called. I managed to create a CNAME which works but once
it redirects after you log in, it goes back to
http://mail.domain.com:7778/…
So, two things …
1 - How can I hide the port number, I think I got it to work using
proxy_pass but that only seems to work for one “server.”
server {
listen 80;
server_name mail.domain.com;
location / {
index index.html;
proxy_pass http://mail.domain.com:7778;
}
}
I added a second “server” directive for “conference.domain.com” but it
sends me in a loop.
2 - How can I rewrite my URL so that if I go to “conference.domain.com”
it doesn’t change to “mail.domain.com.” Don’t forget the app was
installed and takes the hostname of the server which is mail.domain.com.
