mediabrowser behind subdomain

Hi all.

I'm trying to put mediabrowser behind the subdomain as it's a royal pain having to type the port number and my partner isn't as computer savvy as I am so I want a nice simple url.

I can access media browser directly (http://www.mydomain.co.uk:23424/mediabrowser/) and it's fine so I know it's working ok. When I try and use the subdomain (media.mydomain.co.uk) I can see the login page, but it won't accept my password.

I'm getting an error in the log for each login attempt, but I'm not sure if this is due to a serviio issue or an apache config problem....

2013-03-25 18:31:16,224 WARN [ServiioStatusService] Returning error code to the REST layer: Method Not Allowed (405) - The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource identified by the request URI

The apache config file looks like:

  Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName media.mydomain.co.uk
    ProxyRequests     Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass        / http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser/
</VirtualHost>

Any ideas?

You need to set it up for both /mediabrowser (the webapp) and /cds (the api it uses)

Will,

Thanks for the tip. I'm still having problems making that work for a subdomain. The location directings work ok moving media browser to a better url, but I can't get it to work for a subdomain.

If I try this:

  Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName media.mysite.co.uk
    ProxyRequests     Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
#    ProxyPass        /  http://localhost:23424/
#    ProxyPassReverse /  http://localhost:23424/
    <Location /mediabrowser>
       order deny,allow
       deny from all
       allow from all
       ProxyPass          http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser
       ProxyPassReverse   http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser
    </Location>

    <Location /cds>
       order deny,allow
       deny from all
       allow from all
       ProxyPass          http://localhost:23424/cds
       ProxyPassReverse   http://localhost:23424/cds
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>


I simply get an error from apache saying that access to / is forbidden.

I stumbled upon the same problem. I have serviio running on a server on my LAN, and my normal apache is actually served from another server (also in the LAN).
Now I wanted it to be accessable from outside my LAN. After making the port forwarding, I made a virtual server with the ProxyPass statements below.

My virtual apache server is setup using the following:

  Code:

<VirtualHost 10.60.1.15:80>
 ServerName video.myhost.com

 ProxyPass /cds/ http://10.60.1.16:23424/cds/
 ProxyPassReverse /cds/ http://10.60.1.16:23424/cds/

 ProxyPass / http://10.60.1.16:23424/mediabrowser/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://10.60.1.16:23424/mediabrowser/
</VirtualHost>


Please note that 10.60.1.15 is my LAN apache server, and 10.60.1.16 is my LAN serviio server.

Hopefully this can help others looking for this kind of solution.

Wiki material?

Sounds like a good idea.
I'm not really familiar with the wiki yet. Is there a specific section it should be added to?

[zip]

I have added a section here: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=mediabrowser

Just add a new document and link it on this page

I have added a page to the wiki. As english is not my native tongue, it might be a good idea to check if everything sounds OK.
