AW: Tux listen on different IP or Port

[Max Helmet]

Hi Alex,

If you want to use Apache and TUX on the same machine, you usually configure
Apache to listen on port 8080 and TUX to forward requests to that port by
adding the following line to /etc/sysctl.tux (create it, if it doesn't
exists):
net.tux.clientport = 8080

clientport is the port on which Apache will listen. There used to be a
serverport parameter which controlled the port on which TUX would listen,
however that has changed to /proc/net/tux/0/listen/0 in TUX 2.0.
Unfortuntely, as a result you can't configure that setting neither via
/etc/sysconfig/tux nor /etc/sysctl.tux anymore.

Thus, if you want to swap the ports and configure TUX to listen on 8080 and
forward requests to Apache listening on port 80, you would have to manually
enter the following statement on the command prompt each time the system has
booted:
echo "http://0.0.0.0:8080" > /proc/net/tux/0/listen/0
Of course you can also add this statement to /etc/rc.d/init.d/tux for your
convenience.

Regards,
Max
