Normally, you want to bind the GUI to port 80, not the CWMP process.

Anyway, are you running cwmp as root ? Else, the OS won’t grant privilege for port < 1025. Else, you can port forward 7547 to 127.0.0.1 port 80 via iptables or nftables.

Hi Mike ,

thanks for reply

kindly i need the GUI interface to be with port 3000

i mean the url that set in the router which called port 7547 and this what i changed in v1.1 to port 80 in config.json and work with me

but here in v1.2 its not work and give errors in binding as i mentioned before

i do iptables , but sometimes the acs not contact the cpe normally , i must push the file for example multiple time to upgrade firmware

thanks
Husam

as mike99 said, you can’t bind as user on ports <1025 by default.
Just remove the “User=genieacs” line from the genieacs-cwmp so the service runs as root, although
the problems you mentioned are not caused by the genieacs-cwmp port for sure, so I recommend you keep the cwmp running as a non privileged user.

Thanks Mike99 , Lavira

i forget user in cwmp service and now its work with me

its work with me . but after few troubleshooting i see that its not work probably so i add a firewall forwarding from cmwp port to 80

i just need to know if its effect to other services like push upgrade , receive request from router

i open ticket for that

I am trying to do exact same thing,
my old tr069 provider gave direct link (acs.abcd.com) without any port as tr069 url.
Now I have shifted to genieacs, everything is going fine with any other port or default port, but not working with 80 port.
will you please tell me where should I edit User=genieacs value ? did not find any such value.

Update : figured this out.
in ubuntu : run as root

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 7547

this showed me cpes configured as acs.abcd.com as tr069 url.
then I changed the acs url to acs.abcd.com:7547 because this only work till reboot and I dont want to use 80 port, just want to change cpes configured to 80 port to change 7547 port.
This helped lot.

Port forward via iptables is one way to do it but, in my own opinion, the best way to do it is to use Nginx as a reverse proxy.
