Hello friend!

Is it that you want visitors to :1234 to be redirected to the base domain, or that you want what is visible at :1234 to be visible without having to add the :1234 to the URL? Most people ask for the second one, and both require a radically different approach.

In the case that you want :1234 to redirect to the base domain, you need a web server listening on port 1234 that takes all requests and routes them to port 80. If using Apache, you would use mod_rewrite to do the job:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html

Your virtual host in this case would reference port 1234 instead of port 80, so this:

Would instead be this:

The same website can be accessed by http://example.com:1234, http://example.com, http://www.example.com, http://www.example.com:1234.

So i need all of these requests (http://example.com:1234, http://example.com, http://www.example.com, http://www.example.com:1234) to redirect to http://www.example.com.

Am a beginner to server cofigs, so it will be much thankful if you could reply with an example.

  There’s actually a lot more to this then. Because most likely your web server on port 80 is performing a reverse proxy to port 1234, so you can’t redirect all traffic to port 1234 or the web server on port 80 can no longer pull the data to return.
  
  Most likely the best solution is that the application itself handle this task, rather than patching it in various places under various rule sets. What you’re seeking is terribly far from easy to do, and there will be no step by step instructions, unless the application itself is capable of doing it for you.
