How can I change the url http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost in a lighttpd server..

I searched on Google, but no luck..

My current .conf file

server.document-root = "/mnt/sdcard/www"
dir-listing.activate = "enable"
server.errorlog = "/mnt/sdcard/wwwconf/server.log"

server.tag = "lighttpd/1.4.29 for Android"

server.port = 8080

index-file.names = ("index.php", "index.html", "index.htm", "home.php","home.html","home.htm")

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" =>
        (( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
           "port" => 9003,
        ))
)
alias.url = ("/phpmyadmin" => "/data/data/com.andi.serverweb/files/phpmyadmin")

server.max-request-size = 1000000
server.network-backend = "writev"
server.upload-dirs =( "/data/data/com.andi.serverweb/files/lighttpd/tmp" )

mimetype.use-xattr  = "disable"

    I know we have a running joke about running services on one's phone, but it's a joke. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:32
  • @MichaelHampton no it's not a joke, play.google.com/store/apps/… it works out ok.. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:37
  • And besides, to run it on port 80 you would have to root the phone, and probably do other things as well, that are far outside our scope. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:38

    Yes, because running a web server on your phone is not professional. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:43

    I have no idea what it is that entices people into thinking this is a good plan for anything other than novelty purposes, let far alone it being suitable for professional use. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:45

If you attempt to connect to http://localhost, your browser will use the default HTTP port, which is 80.

So to remove 8080 from the URL, your web server will need to be running on port 80. A quick glance at your config file suggests that you'll probably just need to change the server.port line.

server.port = 80

Of course if you're using 8080 because something is already running on this machine using port 80, or you're unable to use port 80 for some other reason (such as your program can't run as root so doesn't have permission to open ports below 1024) then you don't really have many options.

  • Yeah, it needs root for changing port below 1024, so no workaround? Sep 4, 2013 at 9:38
  • No. Maybe you have a good reason, but running anything like this on a phone/tablet is just a waste of time and effort

  • Yes, but sometimes I don't have an alternative, anyway thanks for the answer, I'll root my Droid, if it works, I'll accept the answer.. Sep 4, 2013 at 9:53
