announce on a port

[Laffin]

that's a waste to run a webserver for an announce on a particular port tho.
Since there are alternatives to run a tracker server without a webserver.

Usually resulting in smaller footprint and resources. Port 6969 is used on many external tracker servers

someone mentioned xbt in the earlier posts.. anyway if trying to use say apache for just the tracker aka

Code Select Expand

http://my.domain.com:6969/announce.php
you would need to setup apache to listen on that port.  Default apache only listens on port 80 and 443 if have ssl enabled in apache.
I have done it fine I have my main site running on Nginx and apache only run on a special port for the tracker.
You could even use an another webserver like lightspeed to listen on 6969 lol

Port 6969 gives it away that it's likely to be xbt

6969 is the default port for opentracker, the default for xbt is 2710.

with xbt you dont need to modify apache. xbt is the server.  My guess the reason that port is not working is the xbt process is not running and/or port is blocked, not useable for some reason.  I would try changing ports in xbt.

??? what makes you think hes running xbt?

how do i put my announce a port for example

http://my.domain.com/announce.php <<<< current announce
http://my.domain.com:6969/announce.php

would i need to configure Apache?

announce.php is playing game for it self (if source is modeded..pretty sure it should be)
you can have http daemon running on any port and only have announce.php in there
it might make a small difference, not worth the trouble in my opinion

http://my-site:669/announce.php not valid announce url valid announce url http://my-site:6669/announce install server xbt tracker.
