need help configuring subsonic on vps apache

[grx123]

So finally managed to get subsonic going on port 4040 on a hosted VPS now I am trying to get it going on port 80 but with no avail. If someone with more apache knowledge could help

Code: Select all

changed the document root to "/var/subsonic/jetty/2169/webapp" from /var/www/html"

is this correct
also changed the

Code: Select all

Document = /var/subsonic/jetty/2169/webapp

but still it will not display any pages. It somehow loads
/index.view page.
Could someone please help me with apache configuration

TIA
Regards

Shouldn't it be DocumentRoot ?

yes i did change the document root but it made no difference. Is my document root correct?

it could help a bit better if you could give more info, like which linux distro, apache version, and all you could give...

normally over the httpd.conf you have to change not only the DocumentRoot, you have to change also its entry:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory "/var/www/html">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

to something like:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "/var/subsonic/"

<Directory "/var/subsonic/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

as soon i can have more info i can give you more idea where to change the apache config

ps:
i would skip the single apache and do it over a apache+tomcat, with tomcat you can use SSL and it should be what you are looking for a VPS

sorry for leaving this thread open. I figured it out the solution is to use a reverse proxy. Thanks for the help

a reverse proxy? to just route the port?
have you heard about iptables?

sudo iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4040

I am a newbie to the Linux world and was trying to setup on a VPS box the reverse proxy was the solution that worked so stuck with it but thanks for the enlightenment. If I were to change providers I would definitely use the trick posted but for now it works so I am leaving it alone
