In both there is a section that you need to uncomment one line

Look at the StartServer and StartServerHTTP2 in the ABMApplication class module. In both there is a section that you need to uncomment one line

B4X:

    ' uncomment this if you want to directly access the app in the url without having to add the app name
    ' e.g. 192.168.1.105:51042 or 192.168.1.105 if you are using port 80
    srvr.AddFilter( "/", "ABMRootFilter", False )

Make sure you have ABMRootFilter.bas included in your project. If necessary, it can be found in the Templates directory

Click to expand...

Sub Process_Globals
    Public Server As ABMServer
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    Server.Initialize("", DonatorKey, "123") ' Application = ' the handler that will be used in the url e.g. http://localhost:51042/template
    Server.Port = 80
    Server.srvr.AddFilter("/", "ABMRootFilter", False )
End Sub

You should be able to modify your .htaccess file as I described then.

When you point a Web browser at your url it'll look inside your wwwroot folder. In there you should create the .htaccess file as I described above. Then you can force the browser to automatically point anywhere you want

Use nano or vim or whatever text editor you prefer to create / edit the file

Guys,

I managed to point my domain to ABM app just like a normal web address (ie www.mydomain.com) if ABM app listen to port 80, thanks to OliverA for his suggestion.

Since port 80 is usually used for http port, what are the effects if I used it for ABM app?

I use this VPS not only for ABM app, but for jRDC2 server and for download center. Will there any effect to jRDC2 & download center ?

Install nginx proxy manager to your ubuntu server.
Configure the domain to point to this server
In nginx you can route any incomming traffic on port 80 or 443 to any server and port.
So you can host different web services on different ports which you can reach on different subdomains or different subpages.

As a nice side effect you can automate your lets encrypt ssl certificate generation.

For other services like jrdc, jitsy, video... you can configure streams in nginx to throughpass or redirect the ports.
