#286 Run web service on custom port
I would like to run (actually I am running) the Fog web management/status interface on a port other than port 80. Main things that seem to break are:
1. Global setting FOG_WEB_HOST could take optional [:port] if it doesn't break things
2. Global setting FOG_WOL_HOST could take optional [:port] if it doesn't break things
3. ngmHostName column in nfsGroupMembers table used to build URLs in at least three files:
a. /web/status/freespace.php
b. /web/management/includes/hwinfo.include.php
c. /web/management/ajax/dashboard.bandwidth.php
Perhaps adding FOG_WEB_PORT and FOG_WOL_PORT settings and using it where necessary could allow this.
On my local running installation, I added changes to these files:
/fog/commons/functions.include.php
/fog/status/freespace.php
/fog/management/includes/hwinfo.include.php
/fog/management/ajax/dashboard.bandwidth.php
define( "FOG_WEB_PORT", ":88" );
define( "FOG_WOL_PORT", ":88" );
and included the (local) settings in the URLs that are set up in various functions.
I forgot about the other problem with a non-standard port. The /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default menu file sets a "web" environment variable for the fog imaging process. This variable is then used to "checkin" with the fog managment server to update the status of the imaging task.
The pxelinux.cfg/default file is built out of the OS-specific functions.sh files:
/lib/ubuntu/functions.sh or
/lib/redhat/functions.sh
So these files would have to be modified also to include a non-standard port. I will try this out locally in my pxelinux.cfg/default file.
Finally understood where pxelinux.cfg files get created in Fog web service, so I am attaching a patch file to the v0.32 tarball that contains all my changes.
