zonminder from internet via port?

Post by speedamaster »

I do want to access my zoneminder from internet (after havong done portforwardings in my router) via some port without opening the complete apache at port 80.
So somehow http:<myIP>:12345 instead of http://<myIP>/zm.

what do I need to reconfigure to achieve that?
thanks

I normally use a 4 digit port number forwarded to port 80 and ZM's local IP .

Yeah, the normal way is to open a port on your router, say 8081, and forward it to port 80 on your machine. If you have a directly connected adsl modem or cable, probably do something similar with your software firewall.

Apache can listen on other ports, but you can't control what paths are accesed that way, afaik.

To restrict apache to just serving one path is tricker, could do it with a subdomain and seperate apache site config or something, but more an apache issue than a zm one.
