Subsonic not showing up

Subsonic comes up fine when I run it from localhost:80/subsonic, but when I try (My IP):80/subsonic, all that comes up is a blank white page with a text form.

Any suggestions?

Could you post more about your configuration (OS, Tomcat version, etc.)?

My gut says this is a firewall issue -- more info about that would be useful too.

Some ISPs block port 80 if you are a home user, of course this is if you are trying to access your pc from another location, external to your LAN.

I would try to use a different port for tomcat, like port 5000. If this works then you know it is an ISP issue. If it doesnt then like FlyingSaucrDude said it is probably a firewall issue.

So change tomcat to use a different port other than 80:

1. Open C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml

2. Find <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

3. Change port="80" to port="5000"

4. Restart Tomcat.
