SOLVED: Configure OpenKM to work on existing web server

[Kildorian]

I have a CentOS8 server that is running Apache and hosting three different web sites, two HTML and one wordpress. I was able to install openkm and am able to access it on the default port. I am going to use openkm as a replacement for a SharePoint site and want to be able to the site from the outside. I need to know what I need to add to my current httpd.conf to access the site over port 80 or 443 and if I need to change the openkm config to use port 80 or 443 and how to do so. I found this document: https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... proxy.html but not sure if that is what I need to do.

Thank you.

OpenKM use tomcat, the default tomcat ports are 8005, 8080 and 8009, but you can change with other like is described here
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... -port.html

If your OpenKM is shared in Internet then a good practice is binding port 8080 only to localhost and configure apache proxy to working behing. In this documentation section we try to explain https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... proxy.html

When you got port 80 configured and working with OpenKM it's time to configure SSL, here there's some explanation about it https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... proxy.html a quick way to get apache2 working with SSL is letscrypt https://letsencrypt.org/ ( it is really quick and easy to configure ( I suggest use cerbot https://certbot.eff.org/instructions )

Thank you for the reply. I'll look through the documents and see what I can figure out.

Here is what I needed to do in order to get this to work properly. I followed the link JLLORT provided in setting up the reverse proxy. One of the steps was to create an openkkm.conf file in /etc/http/conf.d. After I restarted the httpd service and tried to go to the openkm site, I received an error stating that the service was not available. After making sure I had everything correct I still received the error. I finally got so frustrated that I made a copy of my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and added the information that is in the openkm.conf file. I restarted the httpd service and I was able to access the login page and my other sites are still working properly.

Service httpd comes with centos and redhat, the documentation section for these OS are https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... tandCentOS

Anyway if you get it running I suggest do not touch much.
