I don't think multiple ports are problem - Timur's proof of concept shows they are not.
The main problem is the following: something is already running on 80 port. So exact requirement for the solution follows: 1. The only openmeetings communication port (OOCP) should be a part of the configuration. By default it would be port 80, and for those who have somethings installed, they can move the port somewhere. 2. One should switch http or https for traffic over OOCP. 3. For OOCP over http I suggest using 1935 for RTMP, or falling back to rtmpt over OOCP. -- With best regards / с наилучшими пожеланиями, Alexei Fedotov / Алексей Федотов, http://dataved.ru/ +7 916 562 8095 On Sat, Apr 28, 2012 at 12:50 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Is this a question or a statement? > > You cannot run all services: http, https, rtmp, rtmpt, rtmps on the > same port 80 and 443, you can only achieve that by cheating with > subdomains + redirect/mod_proxy rules in Apache HTTPD. > > Our configuration currently allows people to configure http + rtmp or > http + rtmpt on the same port. > However to practically achieve that you need Apache Webserver and > configured with mod_proxy. > > Sebastian > > 2012/4/28 Alexei Fedotov <[email protected]>: >> We have really long discussion on the subject: why does our typical >> installation has two http servers - one is Apache jetty embedded into red5, >> and another is Apache Httpd which redirects traffic from port 80 to >> different ports of our product. >> >> I faced strong resistance convincing people that decreasing number of >> servers and ports is good.
