 |

Hello,
I've been using subsonic as a self-hosted music streaming service for years. Subsonic runs on mysite:4040. I can change it to any port above 1024. My workplace recently blocked all ports but port 80. I attempted to set up a reverse proxy in Apache 2.4.18, and it kind of works, but not fully. I'm missing something. This is what is in my .conf file:
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /subsonic/ http://127.0.0.1:4040/
ProxyPassReverse /subsonic/ http://127.0.0.1:4040/
</VirtualHost>
|
If I navigate to mysite/subsonic/ I get a Not Found error from apache. It IS passing data though - when I normally navigate to mysite:4040 it redirects to a 4040/login.view, and when I go to my /subsonic/ link it ALSO gives the login.view, but gives mysite/login.view NOT mysite/subsonic/login.view like I would expect.
When further testing, if I login to subsonic on another tab using the mysite:4040 link and go to the /subsonic/ page it starts to load the site, but is missing all the images and the actual player. I feel like I'm close, but I've got something missing somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Further testing - I changed the proxy settings so instead of rerouting /subsonic to localhost:4040 it routes / to localhost:4040. Now it proxies perfectly.
I can't leave it this way because I then can't access my wordpress page that actually lives on port 80, but I guess it shows something...... Thoughts? |

If you can only have the one Apache listener on port 80, and you need the bulk of that site for Wordpress, then you'll have to configure Subsonic to use a single URI context, e.g. /subsonic. The following worked for me in a test VM.
a) In the Subsonic Control Panel, under Settings, set the context path to /subsonic.
b) In your Apache configuration, replace your current Proxy directives with the following Location block.
| Code: |
# Apply enclosed directives only to matching location.
#
<Location /subsonic>
# Edit location response headers to be site relative.
#
Header edit Location http://(.*):4040/subsonic/(.*) /subsonic/$2
# Proxy requests for /subsonic context.
#
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:4040/subsonic
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:4040/subsonic
</Location>
|
Note the entry to edit location response headers, to remove the unwanted port reference. |
