Proxy to Admin Listener

[artagesw]

I'm wondering if it is possible to run the admin listener locally only (localhost:7080) and then proxy to it from a secure virtual server to enable outside access to the administration interface.

I tried setting up an external application (web server) to point to LiteSpeed itself (127.0.0.1:7080) and then creating a context in the vitual host to direct url /litespeed to that address.

But when I try to access the /litespeed url of the virtual host, I get a "Server Busy" error.

Is this possible? If so, what might I be doing wrong?

(The goal here is to have one fewer port open to the outside world.)

OK, but that approach accesses the admin console on http://<ip>/. I want to access via a *named virtual host* at https://mydomain/litespeed. Is that not possible?

Thanks.

Not possible, The URI cannot be changed. you have to use a subdomain for the admin console.

I am using a subdomain: https://admin.mydomain.com/litespeed

The admin.mydomain.com subdomain is also used for other administrative files (eg. https://admin.mydomain.com/monitor, etc.).

Is that not possible?

Noop, admin console will not work with URL prefix linke /litespeed, you have to dedicate a subdomain for that.
