In your php.ini file there is a setting called open_basedir that tells PHP what 
directories it is allowed to access.   I have  my music stored in 
/mnt/storage/Music but PHP was not allowed to access that directory.  Once I 
added that directory to the open_basedir and restarted apache streaming worked 
(at least on my local network).
