The long story (for the short story, go to the bottom):
<>-------------------------------------------------------<>
I wanted to be able to access the webadmin console of my Astaro Secure Gateway (V7) at home from work--Don't worry, I cleared it with my boss. I'm good to go because it's 'educational' and related to my job [:)]
So, at home on my firewall, I added the IP address of my work as an allowed source to use Webadmin. I tested it out the next day at work, but it timed out. So, I checked the firewall logs from work and saw that the attempt was dropped by works firewall. Bummer, port 4444 is being dropped. OK, no problem. I'll just change my firewall at home to use something else more common that is allowed from work - like 8080 or 443 for example.
So, I got home, fired up webadmin and changed the port from 4444 to 8080. Clicked Apply. And that's when it dawned on me that I may have just made a big mistake...Crap! You see, I have a cleanup rule on my home firewall that drops anything in/out (last rule), and didn't think far enough ahead to make a rule to allow TCP 8080 from work's IP address in advance (or open things up wider from my internal network temporarily - lesson learned...).
So, I did some looking around and found some information that pointed towards simply modifying the Apache httpd.conf configuration file to use a different listening port - back to 4444! Cool - that sounded simple - I've messed around with Apache before - hurray! but when I signed on as root and started poking around, I couldn't find anything familiar for apache or the config file. doh! That must have been an older version of Astaro perhaps...dang...
<>=====================================================<>
The short story:
<>------------------------------<>
My dilemma essentially is that I'm trying to figure out how to modify the listening port of Webadmin on Astaro V7 from root command line (local). Anyone?
Ironically I made a backup of the configuration the other day...But didn't move it off the box yet - doh! I really don't want to start over again...ugh...
TIA!
