My problem is I want to drop 8080 form the url. How do I do that?
If you don't need Apache (i.e you use it only to avoid having to use port 8080 in the url) and assuming you have nothing else listening on port 80, why don't use iptable to forward http request from port 80 to port 8080? You will find a thread in the archive's mailing list. Anyway, please find below the 2 necessary lines: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT Regards, Gaël
