remove port number from 9iAS url

[g. doogle]

We're about to deploy an web app using 9iAS release 2. The docs say to
use the following format to access the page:
http://aaa.bbbb.com:7777/Registration/main.html. For obvious reasons I
would prefer not to announce the port to the free world. How do I
change it so that the port number is not displayed or required in the
url?

Thanks.

You are using Apache's 1.3.2 core for Oracle's web servicer. (Hence the
term "Oracle Web Server Powered by Apache".)

Suggest you head to http://httpd.apache.org and learn how to configure
the server. Although fairly straight forward, there are a LOT of
variations possible to achieve your goal. I suspect any answer you get
from a forum will ultimately be limiting.

Research about virtual hosts on the httpd.conf Apache file....
Thanks.

What would those obvious reasons be, I wonder?
Standard HTML protocol is port 80 - everyone knows that, even
browsers. So, if you just type www.apache.org, it will try
a connection to port 80, and most browsers will actually use
http://www.apache.org:80/index.html.
By default, and by definition!

Similar for secured http (https) - it's port 443.
And all other services (ftp, gopher, SSH, etc., etc)

Also, by definition, if you do not wish to use the default,
you must specify the actual port used. 7777 in your case.
