[ubuntu] Zimbra - Port for UI

[Hightower]

Hi,

 

I wish to add (not change) a port that Zimbra uses for the web interface.

 

I want it so that it loads for both port 80 and 8080. Is this possible?

[Geoff]

use iptables to redirect the port.

 

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-port 80

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-port 80

 

Thanks Geoff. Would you be able to explain a bit more about IPTables and how I would implement that code?

 

I've had a search about and can't find much to help me.

 

Thanks.

UPDATE: Scratch that.... just had to type it in as a SU. Cheers Geoff. That's working internally!

You'll need to add it to your init scripts if you want it to stick between reboots.

Just stumbled on this thread again as I'm setting up a new Zimbra server. How do I save the IPTables so they are there for every start up?

 

Thanks,

Put a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/

create a file in nano with the command in, save it into that folder. chmod +x the file so it's an executable. This will be run automatically when the interface is started. You will see that there are already files in there which do things like ntp etc.

This worked a treat. I also had to put #!/bin/sh in the first line before the iptables line, but obviously you linux guru's already knew that!

 

Thanks
