Can't log into Usermanager while using dst nat to cache port

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Hello all,

I noticed that when dst-nat is used to redirect port 80 trafic to the cache port 3128, I can no longer log into user manager using the web based interface. When I type http://192.168.30.254/userman in the browser I get this error message:

ERROR: Gateway Timeout

While trying to retrieve the URL http://192.168.30.254/userman:

Connection timed out
Your cache administrator is compclassic.

Any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?
I would also like to ask: Is there a problem running hotspot and webproxy caching at the same time?

Change the www service port from 80 to something else, i.e. 8080

/ip service
set www address=0.0.0.0/0 disabled=no port=8080

Now access user-manager at http://192.168.30.254:8080/userman

Thanks Skillful, I really appreciate your help. It solved my problem and I can now log in to user manager using http://192.168.30.254:8080/userman and my cache is also working. Could I just get a brief explanation of how this solved the problem? I mean whats the difference in the service ports 80 vs 8080 as regards solving this problem?

User Manager is accessed via the built in web server, which by default listens on port 80 (but is user configurable via “/ip services”).

If you redirect or dstnat port 80, you can no longer reach the built in web server (since it’s listening at port 80, but all traffic going to that port is diverted).

The simplest solution is to move the built in web server to a port that isn’t redirected or dstnat’d, which is what you did.
