Does SAM support AAC files?

SAM can encode to AAC. (i.e. send AAC to a server)
As of version 2014.6, SAM can now decode AAC. (i.e. use AAC source files)
In previous versions (2014.5 and earlier), SAM can not decode AAC. (i.e. use AAC source files)

What tcp ports need to be opened/forwarded/exposed for SAM to work with HTML/PHP/Requests?

SAM is a streaming audio manager, not a network configuration tool, so setting up the HTML or PHP websites with requests can be tricky.
One size does not fit all.

The following are the 5 most common setup scenarios and the port traffic required. Enjoy.

1. Host everything on one machine
Incoming port 80

2. Host everything on a lan
Incoming port 80

3. Host SAM and the database at ABC and the webserver at XYZ separated by the Internet
Incoming port 80 at XYZ
Outgoing port 3306 at XYZ to get to the database
Outgoing port 1221 at XYZ to make requests if requests handled privately; not needed for proxied requests
Incoming port 3306 at ABC
Incoming port 1221 at ABC

4. Host SAM at ABC and the database and webserver at XYZ (not recommended but here are the bullets for the gun)
Incoming port 80 at XYZ
Outgoing port 1221 at XYZ to make requests if requests handled privately; not needed for proxied requests
Incoming port 1221 at ABC
Incoming port 3306 at XYZ

5. Host SAM and the master database at ABC and a slave database and webserver at XYZ
Incoming port 80 at XYZ
Incoming port 3306 at XYZ for replication
Outgoing port 1221 at XYZ to make requests if requests handled privately; not needed for proxied requests
Outgoing port 3306 at ABC for replication
Incoming port 1221 at ABC

If requests are not needed then cross off anything with port 1221.
If a dynamic website is not needed then cross off anything with 80 as well as 3306 if and only if SAM and the database are not separated by the Internet.

For what it's worth: I do #1 via a co-location service with a non-standard Windows Remote Desktop port to compliment headless access; my hardware, their rack, no headache.

samHTMweb AND samPHPweb tutorials!

For setting up your own webpages that come complete with options to allow listeners to request songs and see pertinent NOW PLAYING and SONG INFO viw your website, you have two options. samHTMweb or samPHPweb, depending on which you prefer to use, HTML or PHP pages. Here are tutorials:

samHTMweb: http://www.lahotcountry.com/sam_help/sam001.htm

sanPHPweb: http://www.scottgiles.com/sam/saminstructions/

NOTE: the use of these will require you to have some basic networking skills to access a webhost via FTP, and will require you to have certain ports open inbound/outbound from both your SAM machine, and your webhost as well.
