Ok... let's check your http config...

Can you run

cat `find /etc/httpd/conf.d/ -name *pms*` | fpaste

and post the recived url here.

Ok, then the "new" proxy settings are not working quite well. Will ahve to look into that. I initially used a redirect, but the Amahi team want's to try to standardize non use of that for apps.

Does it work if you try using

http://pms.home.com

I guess that it won't but give it a try.
In the meantime you can edit the config and change it back to using a redirect by changing

# Redirect / http://pms:32400/manage/

ProxyPass / http://localhost:32400/manage/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:32400/manage/


to

Redirect / http://pms:32400/manage/

#ProxyPass / http://localhost:32400/manage/
#ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:32400/manage/


Then you restart the http daemon using

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

And now you should be able to use

http://pms or http://pms.home.com

I tried pms.home.com/ already, it didn't work. Same as pms/ before.

With the changes you suggested, http://pms/ does work but http://pms.home.com now get's forwarded to http://pms:32400/manage/manage/index.html. Strange.

Maybe it's worthwhile checking some other apps that normally sit on some port but when installed as one-click they use the short name. Squeezeserver and Mediatomb are two examples.

Cheers

Update, pms.home.com does work now. Maybe Apache needed some time to digest the new config. Just guessing.

Just noticed that the Android app is not free of charge - fair enough, but the price point is kind of high at €3.70. The user reports arent't that great either. Not impressed :o

I'm normally quite hard to please :)... But I have actually been quite pleased with the Android app. If compared to the mediocre native media support of Android and the fact that to use Rockplayer I had to mount my shares on my android phone. So $3.70 (or 35sek that I paied here in Sweden) is well worth the money. Sure it has a few kinks, but it will most likely just get better with time.

yum install libstdc++.so.6
PMS Started alright after installing the above library.
Symptom was that I got a "503 Service Unvailable" error after installing it with the one click install.
This prompted me to verify if there were any processes running related to plex ("ps aux | grep plex") - none were found.
Tried to run "./start.sh" and got a library missing.

Did the "yum install".
Tried to start "./start.sh" and got an error related to the port already being taken.
Wanted to verify if the server would come up as normal after a reboot, so rebooted server instead of digging more into it.
"http://pms" doesn't work (404 Not Found), but "http://hda:32400/manage" works.

The proxypass redirect works when "/manage" is moved from the end of the proxypass url ion the config file. If "/manage" is kept there it doesn't handle the port. So if the "/manage" is taken away the page that shows up is the same as if I do "http://hda:32400". Not sure if there's anything there, but maybe?
Don't know if that made much sense :)
For now I've just redirected the url to "http://hda:32400/manage" and it should be fine.

That's the status for now. Again, inquam - thanks for the add :)
Let me know if any of this needs explaining.

This is one I'm really keen to try, so I can stream via plex to my Motorola Xoom android tablet from my Amahi box which currently I can access through all my pc's and media players... it's the one final bit of the puzzle :)

Any news on when this could be ready to go?
