@Gavin, What operating system are you running? My directions are specific to the Ubuntu/Debian varieties. If you are running something else, it’s possible that your subsonic.conf file is not being seen. You could try putting the configuration in another Apache configuration file that you know will be sourced.

Just a sanity check, you are able to get to the Subsonic server on port 8080 at the same time you are not able to get to it on port 80, correct?

Hi,

I cannot setup the subsonic with port 80 access. Currently, the subsonic works well with 8080.

My steps after setup the subsonic standalone for my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

1. a2enmod proxy_http —> OK
2. create file /etc/apache2/conf.d/subsonic.conf (as it is missing by default)
3. Fill in the code
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ProxyPass /subsonic/ http://192.168.0.115:8080/subsonic/
ProxyPassReverse /subsonic/ http://192.168.0.115:8080/subsonic/
4. Set the CONTEXT_PATH of the subsonic.sh
5. Restart the apache server

But I cannot fail. HTTP 404 showed.

@Rick, This particular example is for Subsonic which requires Tomcat. Therefore, Tomcat handles serving Subsonic, and Apache handles forwarding the requests.

Are you still running Tomcat or just letting apache2 handle the web serving?
