How to access web application by URL domain name without adding beside :portnumber

Ehab A. Ghanem 0

I have VM server cloud based. And the VM OS is ubuntu Linux and Developer team installed ERP Odoo service on VM OS and created database configuration. I tried to access this web application using by Azure Public IP Address:portnumber for example (20.120.50.9:8069) while this port is associated with Odoo service. So, I created new subdomain record from GoDaddy provider and added azure public IP Address as a value from GoDaddy | DNS Manage to resolve from Azure Public IP Address to Hostname or sub-domain name. After few minutes, I expected to access this web application with domain name URL for example (x.mybrowser.com) and it's not working. But with portnumber in URL is working for example (x.mybrowser.com:8069). So how do I configure and where for my end users who will be able to access on web application using by normal URL x.mybrowser.com without adding portnumber.

Thank you Kapil, I will check it from my side and follow your instructions. But it will take time for testing before applying this step because I am new in Azure networks. :)

@Ehab A. Ghanem

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well. I understand that you would like to access a web application running on a non standard port to be accesses without specifying the port number explicitly from browser.

AFAIK, this is not feasible.

However, you have two ways to work around this.

1.

You have to configure your service to listen on the well known port 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS respectively instead of 8069

2.

You may introduce a Load Balancer or Proxy service such as Azure Load Balancer, Application gateway in front of your server.

This way, the Load Balancer would listen on Port 80 or 443
And would transfer the traffic to the server on Port 8069 (which is marked from client browsers)
i.e., Clients will not see the port number in the URL.

For Load Balancer,

See : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/tutorial-load-balancer-ip-backend-portal
The Port should be 80 and "Backend Port" should be 8069

For Application gateway,

You have to do it in the HTTP Settings

Should there be any follow-up questions or concerns, please let us know and we shall try to address them.

Cheers, Kapil
