Redirect Directory To Non-Standard Port

[leonardodcrapio]

I want to use my website as a gateway to various servers that I host on my own local network. So I was wondering if there is a way I can forward a url, let's call it, 'website.com/this/directory' to website.com:6654 which in turn points to 111.11.111.11:6654.

 

I would need this to work for various clients (like gaming clients) so that they could be pointed to website.com/this/directory but, in the end, connect to 111.11.111.11:6654.

 

I found an interesting article on this (http://serverfault.com/questions/472482/proxypass-redirect-directory-url-to-non-standard-port) and wonder if it would work here.

 

Could anyone clear this up for me?

 

Edit: Some of the listener ports would be lower than 1024.

As far as I know, heliohost doesn't offer proxypass as a apache module.

 

Also, you need root access to change those config files, we don't allow that for security reasons.

maybe you can use htaccess to direct http://mywebsite.com/folder to

http://mygame.mywebsite.com:6654

then use cloudflare to point mygame.mywebsite.com to 111.11.111.11?

 

I'm not sure if that even works because this only works through http in browsers but it is the only thing I can think of.

Tjoene, would helihost allow what hussam suggested?

 

hussam, as far as pointing the mygame.mywebsite.com to 111.11.111.11, I have that figured out. Thanks for your suggestion with modifying htaccess though.

Using htaccess to redirect URL's is very common and shouldn't be a problem.

Also, cloudflare would actually redirect the request away from heliohost, so that solution could work.
