Disable or redirect the default web interface

[sirockin]

I have my own web interface that I want to serve from my Rev Pi. How do I disable the default Web Interface, or better still, redirect it to another port?

Thanks!

Hi sirockin, you can do the following:
Stop the web server

Code: Select all

systemctl stop apache2.service

Disable the web server

Code: Select all

systemctl disable apache2.service

Thanks Dirk.

And if I want to still see the interface but on a different port. Is there a config file somewhere where I can change the port?

Dear sirockin, have a look at the documentation of the Apache webserver how you may change the listening port. Maybe this link helps you.

Thanks. So the complete answer is to change the port from default (80) to (in the following example) 90:

1. In file ' /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf', change '<VirtualHost *:80>' to '<VirtualHost *:90>'
2. In file /etc/apache2/ports.conf change 'Listen 80' to 'Listen 90'
3. Stop then restart the service using 'systemctl stop apache2.service' then 'systemctl start apache2.service'

Dear sirockin, thank you for your positive response.

Hello,

We have the same issue with the new OS bullseye.
Can we still use the same setting solution?

Hi Ivan,

as you'll see you will be redirected to port 41443 by default. We implemented the redirect as extra Debian package. You can remove it with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove revpi-webstatus-redirect

It might be necessary to reboot you RevPi to see the result. Or reload the apache webserver configuration:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl reload apache2

After this the default Apache page will be shown at port 80.
Now you can place you own page in the html root.

If you want to use your own application on port 80 you need to disable the default sites of apache:

Code: Select all

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

And you need to comment out the

Code: Select all

Listen 80

in the file

Code: Select all

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

. If you also need port 443 you will also need to comment out the lines with

Code: Select all

Listen 443

(see https://askubuntu.com/questions/846647/ ... fault-conf for details).

And then you need to restart the apache webserver:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart apache2
