hiya all

i would like to change zoneminder web access port from 80 to XX
to make it a little less accessable from the internet
and i have port 80 pluged-up to another machine a read only public file server that securty is not an issue
ZM "v1.23.3" mandrake

i used live cd on a blank hd
the fix is listed on v1.24 forum but the file is nonexistent on my 1.23.3 machine

depending on how Apache is setup you should change Port from 80 in Apache config and also Virtual host line if its there change 80 to a *

or if lazy just do a find in you editor of choice and replace all 80s with your new port.

i did a root search with show hidden files for all of thees "Apache.config"
"Apache"and on "Apache.conf"got zip but i got about 7 files or folderson the other 2
looked at all of them cant find settings you describe above
i think about 4 of them had one image in them "photo"

can you give me the path to the correct file or folder it must be somthing like this ??

/ect?/some_subfolder?/some_file?.file_extension?

oh and i used ZM LIVE disk image to create the cd_disk that i used to install "v1.23.3"

configuration files. Something like /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf. It's completely dependent on your distro though and could be in is own configuration file somewhere under /etc/httpd or /etc/apache2.

ok i can change it but im afraid to change it yet

when i start my zm box it automaticly boots to a web window with 5 tabs running ,wouldnt i need to change the addresses of those default tabs
in ZM to reflect the port change ?

because the console is looking at http and assuming port 80
http://localhost/ZM/

so the server port will change but i think it may prevent me from accessing the zm console with default addresses for those tabs

or am i just a worry wart?

your thoughts are appriciated

you can also add a

port 80
port 100

then on all virtual hosts replace 80 with *

Since you have "another machine", another valid way would be to simply use rule forwarding at firewall or router level.

external:80 forward to fileserver:80
external:81 forward to zm:80
