How to remove port numbers from JIRA & Confluence URLs

If a customer would like to remove port 8080 or 8090 (or 7990 etc) from the URL, you will need to install mod_proxy.

Assumptions

• You are running Linux (RedHat, CentOS etc)

Step by Step Guide

• yum install httpd

  1	yum install httpd

• nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/jira.conf (or confluence.conf)

  1	nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/jira.conf (or confluence.conf)

Use one of the following snippets:

JIRA:

• <VirtualHost *> ServerName jira.example.com ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> </VirtualHost>

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  <VirtualHost *>     ServerName jira.example.com ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy>       ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> </VirtualHost>

Confluence:

• &lt;VirtualHost *&gt; ServerName confluence.example.com ProxyRequests Off &lt;Proxy *&gt; Order deny,allow Allow from all &lt;/Proxy&gt; ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/ &lt;Location /&gt; Order allow,deny Allow from all &lt;/Location&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </li> <li> <pre class="prettyprint">nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  &lt;VirtualHost *&gt;     ServerName confluence.example.com ProxyRequests Off &lt;Proxy *&gt; Order deny,allow Allow from all &lt;/Proxy&gt;     ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/ &lt;Location /&gt; Order allow,deny Allow from all &lt;/Location&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;         </li>   <li> <pre class="prettyprint">nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

AFTER:

• # Load config files in the "/etc/httpd/conf.d" directory, if any. IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf

  1 2	# Load config files in the "/etc/httpd/conf.d" directory, if any. IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf

ADD:

• LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

  1 2	LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

• systemctl start httpd

  1	systemctl start httpd

• chkconfig httpd on

  1	chkconfig httpd on

• /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

  1	/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

• systemctl stop jira

  1	systemctl stop jira

• cd /opt/atlassian/jira/conf (or confluence/conf)

  1	cd /opt/atlassian/jira/conf (or confluence/conf)

• cp server.xml server.xml.bak

  1	cp server.xml server.xml.bak

• nano server.xml

  1	nano server.xml

Add the proxyName and proxyPort at the bottom

• &lt;Connector port="8080"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  <Connector port="8080"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true"

  proxyName="jira.example.com" proxyPort="80" /&gt;

  1 2	proxyName="jira.example.com" proxyPort="80" />

• &lt;Connector port="8090"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  <Connector port="8090"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true"

• proxyName="confluence.example.com" proxyPort="80" /&gt;

  1 2	proxyName="confluence.example.com" proxyPort="80" />
