PlexConnect, Apache on Windows 7

Dev Community Apps & Creations

I am asking for help in setting up PlexConnect on a Windows 7 machine running Apache.

 

A little background: I had an extra computer running Windows 7 and set up PMS and PlexConnect so my Apple TV 3 could access our media library. It worked without any problems until this past weekend. I installed a CRM that also installed Apache, PHP, and other software. The installation of Apache and the CRM software effectively broke PlexConnect.

 

I am a complete noob when it comes to Apache; I know just enough to get myself into trouble. From what I have read, I presume that PlexConnect by default works on port 80, which is now being used by the CRM. I presume I need to move PlexConnect to another port, then tell Apache to redirect all traffic on that port to PlexConnect. I have read post after post of users who have various combinations of software and hardware, but none seem to be exactly the same as mine, and with my inexperience in Apache and Python, I really don't know where to start. I'm new to this software but a fairly quick study; I would appreciate some directions and any corrections to my conclusions.

 

To review, I am running the following:

 

Windows 7

Plex Media Server v0.9.8.17

PlexConnect

Apple TV 3, v5.3

Python v2.7

Apache v2.2.2.21

PHP v5.38

PMS at 192.168.1.3

Router at 192.168.1.1

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you look at the OSX server (uses Apache), IIS and Linux threads you might have enough to work out how to setup the needed reverse proxy on Apache and disable the PlexConnect web server.

Alternatively there may be someone with a very similar setup.
