What is the location of that config file? Is it /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf as required when running as a service, like you are doing? You can run `sudo mopidyctl config` to show the actual config values that the service will use.

Hi Guys - sorry to revive an old thread, but was wandering if it’s possible to run Iris or mopidy Musicbox Webclient on a public ip? When I run on 127.0.0.1:6680 using ssh port forwarding, no issue at all. But when I try to run on [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com), it doesn’t connect to mpd (trying to reach Mopidy on [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)).

I believe it’s because I need to port-forward 6600? I do port-forward 6680 in my apache config and that works fine. But how can I get it to connect to mpd on port 6600? Cheers

I managed to get Iris working on public IP by adding these config lines to my sites-available .conf in apache

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]  
RewriteRule /(._) ws://127.0.0.1:6680/$1 [P,L]  
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]  
RewriteRule /(._) [http://127.0.0.1:6680/$1](http://127.0.0.1:6680/%241) [P,L]

So the issue wasn’t port 6600, but the web socket on port 6680.

Thanks guys
