I am running a production server and my web application is running at port 8099. so if front end wants to access any backend endpoint, they make a call to this url:

http://production.server.com:8099/mainserver/some/get?xxxxxxx

I need to setup production.server.com:8099 to something like api.production-server.com, which will point to production.server.com:8099. What's the best approach to this? This is for ubuntu platform.

For Nginx

server {
     server_name  https://api.production-server.com;
     location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8099; }
}

  • production.server.com should be replaced with api.production-server.com in my example. It worked. – NullException Jan 13 '14 at 6:24
  • Edited to match the correct server name. – deepseas Jan 13 '14 at 15:06

Assuming it is a apache server. 

<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
 </proxy>

    ServerName https://production.server.com
    ProxyPass https://api.production-server.com   https://production.server.com:8099
    ProxyPassReverse https://api.production-server.com   https://production.server.com:8099

  • We use nginx here. What's the equivalent in nginx for what you suggested? – NullException Jan 10 '14 at 21:46
