Run Odoo from port 80 instead of 8069

Run Odoo on port 80 instead of 8069

In last article, we learned how to install Odoo from Github. Today on pulse7, I am going to share simple trick to Run Odoo from port 80 instead of 8069.  In normal scenario, Odoo (OpenERP) runs on port 8069, It might happen that you want to access Odoo (OpenERP) from your public ip with default port 80.

Generally, port 80 is being used by HTTP, so we cannot directly assigned that port to Odoo (OpenERP) server. But through simple trick we can forward traffic of port 80 to 8069. The process is known as port forwarding or port routing. Today I am going to teach you how to do port forwarding in Ubuntu 14.04, for Oddo.

Run Odoo from port 80 instead of 8069

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my system with Odoo (Open ERP v8).

  1. Go to terminal open rc.local file. rc.local file reside in etc folder. 
     sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
  2. Paste this command on rc.local file and save 
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8069
  3. Reboot Ubuntu, to see effect 
    sudo reboot
  4. After success full restart of system, you can try to access Odoo (OpenERP) from your local or public ip (with default port 80)

I hope you like this article. Share your views to to improve content. Happy Learning !!!

    Why don’t you just specify port in Odoo config file? Just deactivate other listeners of port 80…

      Denis, I tried, but it didn’t work, You can experiment with that.

    • rachid el ghazi

      true or just using the parameter of odoo –xmlrpc-port=80

        running below port 1000 requires root privileges in the linux world. (on windows, no problem). Having the capability of root is very dangerous on the www. That’s why ports >1000 should be used. That’s also the reason why it’s easier to hack a windows system.

      How do you deactivate other listeners of port 80?

    Question:
    Next step: https for security sake. How to get a certificate. Then put it on the right place and configure it.

    Hey guys,

    Nice article.

    I have two issues.

    1. this does not work for me since I have apache server running on port 80. how do I force this?

    2. How about using database as a subdomain like dbName.myIP insead of myIP:8069?db=dbName or myIP?db=dbName

    • Ruben Kannan

      Correction

      This works on a ubuntu computer not on a ubuntu VPS.

      • Andrey

        On first issue:
        Don’t you have to change the last line to “exit 1”?

  • http://www.printxinc.com Billie Blake-Alexandra

    THis worked great.. but what if you have multiple databases/multiple companies? Which one will be servers for default website? Thanks!

  • jamesutru

    I was unable to get this to work on my ubuntu 14.0 server

  • Arian

    Thank you .Was very ease.I have my own home server OS ubuntu 14.04.
    Now after forwarding the port 8069 to 80 I can’t open own cloud at mydomain.com/owncloud how to change the port for owncloud from 80 to other port for example mydomain.com:81/owncloud. i don’t have so much experience in linux .
    Thx in advance

  • Arian

    sorry i forget , i have same problem with phpmyadmin

  • Rickey

    Wow. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to VIMAL RUGHANI I was able to set this up by my own. Actually, I host my Odoo application at https://rosehosting.com and usually they configure my Odoo server, but today I became an Odoo expert :) Thank youuu..

    Thanks a lot! I was following the instructions at http://opensourceholic.com/2014/05/09/deploy-openerp-using-mod_proxy-and-mod_wsgi-on-linux-server/ , but it wasn’t working.

    Your method worked for me.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the code. I am almost finished coding your code as
    above, but I don’t remember the [sudo] password for odoo. How can I find
    the password?
    Thanks once again
