How to Change Slave Port In Solus VM Master Server With CentOS/RedHat

It’s not directly possible to change a slaves listening port however you can  modify the slaves web server port and a simple iptables rule on the master.

You want the slave to use port 5000 instead of the standard port 6767 then follow some below steps:

On the slave you need to:

Step1. Edit /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Step2. Change

server.port                = 6767

to

server.port                = 5000

Step3. Restart lighttpd:

service lighttpd restart

Step4. Add an iptables rule to your master:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d SLAVE_IP --dport 6767 -j DNAT --to-destination SLAVE_IP:5000

Note: Replace the “SLAVE_IP” with the slaves actual ip address

Step5. Save the iptables rule enter below command:

service iptables save

Step6. The slave will be listening on port 5000 and any traffic at the slave on port 6767 will be directed to port 5000.
