Apache redirect

To configure Apache on appserver to listen on port 8083 and set up the required redirects, follow these steps:

1. Change Apache to Listen on Port 8083

Edit the Apache configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Find the Listen directive and update it:

Listen 8083

Save and exit, then restart Apache:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

2. Configure Redirects

Edit the VirtualHost configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/redirects.conf

Add the following rules:

a) Permanent Redirect (301) from Non-WWW to WWW

<VirtualHost *:8083>
    ServerName stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com
    Redirect 301 / http://www.stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com:8083/
</VirtualHost>

b) Temporary Redirect (302) from /blog/ to /news/

<VirtualHost *:8083>
    ServerName www.stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com
    Redirect 302 /blog/ http://www.stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com:8083/news/
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit.

3. Restart Apache

sudo systemctl restart httpd

4. Verify Redirects

Test the redirects using:

curl -I http://stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com:8083/
curl -I http://www.stapp02.company-name.mycorp.com:8083/blog/

This ensures that Apache listens on port 8083 and correctly redirects requests. 🚀 Let me know if you need further customization! You can also check out this guide for more details.
