I am using digitalocean account and a non sudo user.
My current port is 8090
What i want is using iptables i could access 8090 http data by requesting from port 80
For more clearly. I am non sudo user
In development i have started my server at port 8090. Now want to run it on 80 so that visiting user should not include port number along with my domain name
What is now
http://www.site.tk:8090/

PS: I can use non sudo ports only

I am trying to run an ubuntu apache server on Google cloud platform, I have created the VM instances but I can't connect to any other port apart for from 80 and 22.
Here are all the things I've tried so far:
Created Firewall rules to allow ingress traffic to ports 21,20 and 443.
Created FireWall rules on the Ubuntu Machine itself
The only ports that seem to be open are the 80 and 22.
I also allowed both HTTP and HTTPS access in the VM settings
So Basically, what I am trying to do is to open ports on my server. I'm not sure what am doing wrong.
You have already installed apache, and it's running on the port 80 as you can see on the nmap test, a closed port just mean that there's no application running on that port, this is different to filtered, see this for more information, this confirms that your firewall rules are correct (you are allowing traffic from all sources 0.0.0.0/0). By now you should be able to access your website on the port 80, if not I suggest you to follow this GCP guide.
So, if you want to run apache on the port 443 you just need to change its configuration (basically you will need to get a certificate for your server, configure some related parameters and then create a virtualhost listening on the 443 port, there are many guides on the internet for this just google for "enable https apache [your_OS]"), that should be enough since the firewall rules on GCP and your instance appear to be properly configured.
I have a very cheap VPS with the IP 123.123.123.123 which listens on these ports: 7000, 7001, ... 7020. Apache listens on port 7010. Then I can access my website with http://123.123.123.123:7010.
As this is a shared IP, I cannot listen on port 80 myself with my VPS: I only have access to 7000 ... 7020.
I have registered a domain mydomain1.com by a domain provider and I'm using their nameservers.
How to set up the DNS records such that any user going on http://www.mydomain1.com will be transparantly directed to my website, with Apache ? (the browser will probably default to port 80, is that right?)
I initially thought about such a DNS record:
Name TTL Type Priority Content
*.mydomain1.com 3600 A 0 123.123.123.123
but then, I think I would have to access the website with http://www.mydomain1.com:7010 (which is not nice) and not http://www.mydomain1.com (which would be better).
Unfortunately you cannot specify ports on DNS records. The only way to make it work as you expect is to have a reverse proxy running elsewhere (nginx, haproxy), listening on port 80, and then forward traffic to your server.
Some useful information about HTTP proxying with nginx:

I'm brand spanking new to setting up websites, so go easy.
Basically I setup an osticket system on my XAMPP stack and It works locally no problem but when I try to access it from my public IP it won't connect.
I've port forwarded port 12345 -> 80 as my server listens on 80.
So theoretically if I type in my URL bar it should connect right?
In the httpd.conf file for Apache do I enter the external or internal IP address? I'm assuming I leave it as localhost because the .conf file is local to the server.
My networking setup:
Firewall setup:
<PublicIP:12345> ALLOW <PriavteIP>
Port forwarding setup:
<PublicIP:12345> -> <PrivateIP:80>
It's hard to tell without understanding more about your setup. I'm going to assume you have a router that connects your internal network to the Internet, and you have one or more computers connected in your network, and your server is one of those.
So are you talking about the port forwarding rules on your public-facing router's firewall? If you are forwarding port 12345 from your router to port 80 on your server, the reason it won't work is because a standard HTTP request from a public machine will come to your router on port 80, not port 12345. Are you entering in a URL with the 12345 port number in it? If anything, you should simply be routing all requests to port 80 on your router to the IP of your server.
You can check this if you try to view your web site using the port number in the URL. So if your IP address to your router is 5.6.7.8 you would enter http://5.6.7.8:12345 and this would load your web page, as the request for a page from port 12345 would get forwarded to port 80 on your server. But honestly I think you just need to get rid of port 12345.
apache + ssl is configured using xampp on windows server 2003. http content has no problem by domain name, but https content can only be visited from localhost. "netstat -a" shows
Proto Local Address Remote Address State
...
TCP hostname:https hostname:0 Listening
...
How to config to enable https via domain name?
Found the reason. Another program take the 443 port so apache https failed. use "netstat -a -o -n" can get the detail.
I'm assuming you can already access apache using this domain name.
Take a look in your ports.conf, usually found at
/etc/apache2/ports.conf
It should contain a line like:
NameVirtualHost *:443
and also
Listen 8443 https
I am having apache tomcat server on my windows machine. Also I can access this server from other machines on the network.
Now I want to map the IP+Port combination to a name ie currently I have to write http://10.xxx.xx.xx:8080/app_name but I want to access it as http://app_name
How can I go about it? Is there any solution which I can achieve by adding some mapping in apache server file? Also DNS server is not in my control, any way to get around this problem?
Thanks

By not specifying a port number, you are defaulting to port 80. Your options are to either modify your server to listen on port 80 or define an external load balancer VIP that does a PAT from port 80 to 8080.
If you take the VIP route, the hostname is defined on the load balancer. If you don't have that option and DNS isn't an option either, you could manually modify your hosts file with an alias. However, this would require all remote users to have your hostname - IP mapping in their local hosts files (making DNS the more manageable solution).
When user types the URL in browser, browser will establish TCP connection with web server in the port 80 by default in case of HTTP, 443 by default in case of HTTPS.
Yes. If Web server exposes any port other than default port, port has to be mentioned in the browser URL to connect and get the data.
