Unable to login to Admin Console, when web-server is installed on non-default port

[Alexander Obuhovich]

I have In-Portal installation on 8080 port instead of 80 port, which is default.

Because of that I have to specify port each time I visit website like this: http://www.site-name.com:8080/admin/

Unfortunate effect of that is that $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] variable also contains that port, but since it's used for cookie setting no cookies are set at the end.

I propose to strip value of PORT constant from end of SERVER_NAME constant (which is set to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] by default). It's also safe for IPv6 protocol.

Unfortunate side effect is inability to login to Admin Console, since it's uses cookie-based session.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for noticing. I have some questions here.

I can specify the Port number in config.php or am I wrong here?

Are we going to have that side-effect if we are going to do what you have proposed (strip the port from server_name) or it will fix it?

No, port number isn't specified in config.php, since http(-s) port number is only the way to reach proper webserver where In-Portal is located.

I guess, all the URL automatically build with correct port which comes from $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], OR it's a browser does for us?

I have no issues with removing PORT from SERVER_NAME constant! My main question is whether side-affect you described happens now or will take place once we implement the change.

Thanks for clarifications.

It was build with correct port 4 years ago and no one has tested it ever since :)

Today $_SERVER['HTTP_PORT'] is not even available (based on PHP documentation and phpinfo I used).

Here is the patch that removes port (from SERVER_NAME constant), when present and adds it to PORT constant, when it's not default for the protocol being used (e.g. don't add :80, when http is used).
