Author How to access portal server by port 80

2007-05-18, 7:21 am

I have developed a portal project and applied a Domain Name for it.
So I can access the service by:
http://mydomain:10038/wps/portal
As you know, it is not very convenient for user.
I tried to change the port from 10038 to 80 so that user need not input port.
And now, I can access by
http://mydomain/wps/portal
But, what I really want is to access by:
http://mydomain
How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

How have you changed the port? I mean, I have he Portal configured with IHS and then I just have a simple index.html with a redirect tag to http://hostname/wps/portal

It might be posible to also do that within the administration panel and create an alias but I am not so sure.

Hope it helps.

Hi Sebastian,
Many thanks for you kind help!
I have done according to your introduction and it works too. Very excited!
But, there is a little delay before it redirect to the portal from the index.html.
I tried to access the http://hostname/wps/portal directly and it is much more quick than redirect from index.html.
And, I tried to redirect to http://www.yahoo.com from the index.html and it is very quick too.
How to remove the delay? Thanks!
BTW, I redirect by the following index.html:

<html>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>WELCOME</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://hostname/wps/portal">
</HEAD>
<body>
</body>
</html>

use apache rewrites

RewriteRule /portal
http://www.icconsulting.com.au/wps/...ebsphere-portal
[R]

or something like this for the default URL

RewriteRule ^/$ /wps/wcm/connect/IC/main [R]

[R] is important

Do you know how to create rewrite rules?

Too slow, me! There appears to be some sort of caching thing going on with these forums - I could have sworn that reply three didn't exist when I started writing my reply. Then again, I haven't had any coffee yet.

Thank you all for your help.
It works well now!

I installed the HTTP Server and plugins by which we use port 80 instead of 10038 to access portal.

I employed the Apache RewriteRule to make sure it redirect quickly.

Thanks again~
