WebMediaPortal can also be used with a standard IIS installation. Please only do this if you're a bit experienced, as it's a bit hard to setup.
Prerequisite
- MPExtended depends on the full .NET 4 framework, which you can download from the Microsoft site.
To check if .NET 4 is already installed in Windows 7: Open Control Panel - Programs - Programs and Features and look for Microsoft .NET Framework 4,Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended or Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile is just a subset of features from .NET Framework 4 and isn't enough to run MPExtended).
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 include .Net 4.5, which supports applications written for 4.0, so there is no need to install .Net 4.0 on Windows 8. - WebMediaPortal also requires ASP.NET MVC3, which you also can download from the Microsoft site. This is bundled with the normal WebMediaPortal installation, but not with the IIS Edition.
Preconfiguration
Windows 7
Register ASP.NET with IIS by running the following commands as Administrator:
cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 aspnet_regiis \-ir cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 aspnet_regiis \-ir
Windows 8
It is not needed to register ASP.NET with IIS in Windows 8. Instead install ASP.NET 4.5 using the Turn Windows Features On or Off dialog.
Installation
- WebMediaPortal gets its data from the MPExtended services, so you have to install it too. If you are using a multiseat setup, you have to install these on a different computer. See the installation guide of the services for more details.
- Download the IIS edition of the installer from our site. Installation is really simple and should complete within a minute.
Configuration
You have to configure IIS manually. The following settings are recommended:
- Application Pool, ASP.NET version: v4.0 or v4.5
- Application Pool, Enable 32-Bit Applications: *True
*
NOTE: This setting used to be False for MPExtended 0.4.3, and should be True for MPExtended 0.5 and newer. - Application Pool, managed pipeline mode: Integrated
- Physical Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\MPExtended\WebMediaPortal\www (or any other directory you chose during installation, but make sure to point at the www directory).
Make sure to configure WebMediaPortal as an Application, not as a virtual directory. Getting this wrong will result in HTTP 403 errors, such as mentioned in[ this thread|IIS_Application_PoolsAdvanced_Settings-_Enable_32-Bit_Applications.png^https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/webmediaportal-iis-installation-http-error-403-14-forbidden.105915/].
Finally, you have to give the user your application pool runs as write permissions to C:\ProgramData\MPExtended. For the default settings, this is the group IIS_IUSRS.
It still doesn't work
There are a few things you can try if it still doesn't work, though these shouldn't be required for normal installations:
- Check the Troubleshooting page.
- This hotfix has been reported to fix some problems with HTTP 403 errors.
- You might need to configure the handler manually, using the guide in this post.
