Removing Port 8082 from URL

Martha6 years ago

Hello!

I have this site: http://gps.example.com:8082/ and I would like to remove the port #8082. I have added the web port 80 on my traccar.xml, but I'm still required to add 8082 on the url for the site to load. What am I doing wrong?

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd'>

<properties>

    <entry key='config.default'>./conf/default.xml</entry>

    <entry key='database.driver'>org.h2.Driver</entry>
    <entry key='database.url'>jdbc:h2:./data/database</entry>
    <entry key='database.user'>sa</entry>
    <entry key='database.password'></entry>

    <entry key='web.port'>80</entry>

</properties>

Have you restarted service?

I went to Window's 'Services' and selected 'traccar' and clicked on 'restart the service'
But now I cannot reach the site.

OK, before asking for help on forum, you need to investigate it yourself, check logs, search for existing solutions etc.

Hi Martha,

How did you manage to do like this: link domain name to your local pc traccar server?

Sorry I didn't do it, my co-worker set it up

Hi giorgijag,

That will be easy just add a mapping of ip -> url[desired url] in /hosts file. The location of this file varies wrt to the OS that you are using. Like in windows it usually be C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts, In MacOS it will be some where here; /etc/hosts.

Hi Martha,
Is your problem resolved? If not Can u please provide the logs post restart of traccar service.

Thank you for everyone's assistance. I had issues on my server's configuration. I did not have IIS enabled for HTTP, so I couldn't use port 80, but it's all good now!

Hi Mayank,
Thank you very much.

If I map like that, traccar will be accessible by URL address form external network yes?
For this I also need to buy domain yes?

Hi giorgijag,

This solution was only for the local system.
And please see inline.
If I map like that, traccar will be accessible by URL address form external network yes? [No -> For that You need to buy external hosting and host the application there.]
For this I also need to buy domain yes? [Yes -> You need to buy the domain name and map with your host server]

@mayank

Thank you for your professional support.

Martha's web-page http://gps.example.com/ is accessible from external network, and her Traccar is running on windows.

It means I can direct domain name to my local traccar server to my PC's external IP?

Hi giorgijag,

My take will be She might be hosting this on some windows machine on the cloud. As If You do this; [I can direct domain name to my local traccar server to my PC's external IP] Your application will be accessible as and when only your PC is online.
