??h1. HowTo Configure server connectivity variables (such as Ports and WebRoot):

h2. Find the startup option you require.

7 
You can change certain variables when starting tvheadend, to see a full list execute:
8
9 
<code>
10
11 
/etc/default/tvheadend -h
12
13 
</code>
14
15 
The variables we are interested in are as follows:
16
17 
<code>
18
19 
Server Connectivity
20
21 
  -6, --ipv6                  Listen on IPv6
22
23 
      --http_port             Specify alternative http port
24
25 
      --http_root             Specify alternative http webroot
26
27 
      --htsp_port             Specify alternative htsp port
28
29 
      --htsp_port2            Specify extra htsp port
30
31 
</code>
32
33 
These are all fairly self explanatory, you can set the server to listen on ipv6, adjust the http port, add a webroot to all URLs, adjust the htsp port and add an extra htsp port.  The webroot option is *required* to place tvheadend behind a reverse proxy.

37 
h2. Adjusting upstart/service variables (after installing the maintained package on Ubuntu for example):
38
39
40
41 
To add startup options to your newly installed Ubuntu package edit the @/etc/init/tvheadend.conf@ file.
42
43
44
45 
p(.Goto the line:
46
47 
<code>ARGS="-f"</code>
48
49 
This currently only contains @-f@ which will @Fork and run as daemon@. Add your desired options between the quotes, for example to add a webroot @/tv@:
50
51 
<code>ARGS="-f --http_root /tv"</code>
52
53
54
55 
The restart the service and browse to your previous tvheadend URL but with the /tv suffix.
56
57
58
59 
h2. Configuring an Apache reverse proxy with a tvheadend WebRoot:
60
61
62
63 
Once your webroot is added to your tvheadend startup options you can use a reverse proxy to access it, this will allow you to access tvheadend on a port that may be in use by multiple services and a webserver; this port may also be accessible from the internet.
64
65
66
67 
There are a few ways to configure a reverse proxy, this example is using our previously configured webroot @/tv@:
68
69
70
71 
<code>
72
73 
<Location /tv>
74
75 
order deny,allow
76
77 
deny from all
78
79 
allow from all
80
81 
ProxyPass http://localhost:9981/tv
82
83 
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:9981/tv
84
85 
</Location>
86
87 
</code>
88
89
90
91 
In this case tvheadend will now be accessible on port 80 at http://localhost/tv
