Use F*EX as virtual host using Apache Reverse Proxy feature
If you would like to use F*EX, but you have only one IP and you can't/don't want to use different port there is a solution!
The Morten Minde Neergaard method almost work. In my case I've prepared file (let's say fex.conf) in /etc/httpd/conf.d/:
<VirtualHost 2.3.4.5:80>
ServerName fex.mydomain.org
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:88/
ProxyPreserveHost On
</VirtualHost>
and setup F*EX (/etc/xinetd.d/fex):
service fex
{
[...]
bind = 127.0.0.1
port = 81
[...]
}
note I've changed also the port F*EX listen on.
The only thing I had to change in F*EX source code was one line added in lib/fex.pp file:
--- fex.pp-2014-11-01 2013-07-27 01:41:43.000000000 +0200
+++ fex.pp 2014-11-01 00:22:19.384463319 +0100
@@ -137,6 +137,8 @@
}
}
+ $port=80;
+
# use same protocal as uploader for download
if ($ENV{PROTO} eq 'https' and $port == 443 or $port == 80) {
$durl = "$ENV{PROTO}://$host/fop";
to fix links to files sent by F*EX to point to port 80 instead of 88. Without this little change links looks like this:
http://fex.mydomain.org:81/fop/NUQLEo5c/testfile.txt
I don't know if there is other method not to sent F*EX port to clients or maybe there are some changes in newest version. I've tested it on, quite old, 20130805 release.
