Google load balancer redirect IP address to specific port?


I'm using google compute engine, and have set up a load balancer over an instance group. I have also reserved an ip address. Everything works just fine, if I access the specific port (8080), but if I just try to access the ip-address I get a '404 error'. I have also added a domain and have the same problem. domain.com:8080 works but just domain.com gives a '404 error'.

Is the same host and path as this (host: *, path: /*) guy enough? Or is there more configuration to be done. I can't seem to find this information in the docs.


Solution

  • setup the load balancer frontend to listen to port 80 instead of 8080 and/or 443 for HTTPS (requires SSL certificate...)
