Apache 2.2 reverse proxy for subsonic not working!

[fifa255]

Hi all,

I have apache 2.2 installed on mu Ubuntu 11.04 natty platform. I also have subsonic music streaming service installed which listens to port 4040 for http and 4443 for https. I am trying to set up reverse proxy so that http://ip-address/music will redirect me through the reverse proxy to http://ip-address:4040/music.
I have the following modules loaded proxy, proxy_http and I am using the below config file to set up the reverse proxy after reading through apache documentation and forums.

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /music https://localhost:4443/music
ProxyPassReverse /music https://localhost:4443/music


So far this will work only on the machine the apache server and subsonic is installed on (ip address on lan 10.0.0.8). However if I try to access the subsonic server from a different ip/machine on my lan it will redirect to localhost:4443 which will not work as subsonic server is not running on this machine. Does anyone have an idea why this would not be working. I have searched on google and for the most part everyone seems to be using a very similar config file for reverseproxy. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have attached a screeshot of the firefox error that I get when trying to access the apache server machine from a different computer on the lan.

Tried replacing

ProxyPass /music https://localhost:4443/music
ProxyPassReverse /music https://localhost:4443/music

with

ProxyPass /music https://10.0.0.x:4443/music
ProxyPassReverse /music https://10.0.0.x:4443/music

?

boutch55555,

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion earlier. But doing so will only make this work on my LAN (10.0.0.* subnet). If I try to access my server from the internet (from a different network) http://external-ip/music then it will redirect the browser to https://10.0.0.8:4443/music which does not exist. Any other suggestions.

You could setup a dyndns / noip service and replace it in the config :

ProxyPass /music https://myhome.dyndns.org:4443/music
ProxyPassReverse /music https://myhome.dyndns.org:4443/music

You then need to redirect the ports on your router to the correct hosts. It probably won't work from your local network though.

I don't have much experience with apache as a proxy, I usually use nginx for this task, but there must be a way to get apache to do the url rewriting right...

Tried to put ProxyPreserveHost to On ?
