URL for web ui issue
If you don't want to specify port explicitly, you can change port to 80 (default HTTP) in the config file.
Apache proxy would work as well, but if you have a dedicated IP address for your Traccar instance, it's not required.
Yes getting separate ip is very cheap for the vps but how should I go about pointing a ip the traccar server ? It's a Linux server with whm. I'll ask the host provider but I'm not sure because pointing port 80 will shut down everything since it's the default port no?
Should i change anything in the traccar config file? All I want is like you said to not use the port after domain.

You don't need to point it. Traccar automatically listens on all the interfaces, so if IP address is assigned to the VPS, Traccar will be available on it.

That's why I said it's an option if Traccar has a dedicated IP address. If not, you can use proxy.
Okay it's working now but the device won't show on map. Here is the domain name "locas.atozws.com" and ssl was installed . However ui loads but not device on map.
Most likely it means that you haven't forwarded WebSocket connection.
What does this mean?
It means exactly what it says. How did you install SSL?
Like this
Created file /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/atozws/locas.atozws.com/proxy.conf .
root@host [~]# cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/atozws/locas.atozws.com/proxy.conf ProxyPass /api/socket ws://localhost:8082/api/socket ProxyPassReverse /api/socket ws://localhost:8082/api/socket ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/
Executed following commands :
/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --domain=locas.atozws.com /scripts/restartsrv_httpd
Check browser developer console for errors and warnings.
What about clearing cache for java or something like this ?
What about it and how is it related?
I'm not sure what's wrong honestly .
Have you checked browser console? Nothing there?
For the URL structure, how can I properly configure the web ui with the a domain? For example I traccar.domain.com. I have traccar includin web elements all inside opt inside a centos 7. To access traccarnright now I can type any domain on the vps and put ":8082" and open up traccar web ui. But that's weird . Should i configure the config file for traccar like I did for MySQL? In the past I did Apache port forward for the domain however it would open but wouldn't display devices . What's the right way of conntecting a dedicated domain? Please advice anyone .
