apache: redirect from one port to another

[hugh]

I've searched unsuccesfully and really should have a test server in a VM to practice with until then however I need help redirecting requests from one port to another such as example.com:8000 to example.com:8002. All suggestions gratefully received...

Thanks!

Something like:

RewriteCond {HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com:8000$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com:8002/$1 [R=301,L]

or

RewriteCond {SERVER_PORT} ^8000$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com:8002/$1 [R=301,L]

Neither is working unfortunately. Any suggestions?

iptables was my answer:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
iptables-save

Thanks for the feedback g1smd!

There was a typo in my code, the { should have been %{ here.
