[Question] IIS7 WebMediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[alturismo]

Hi, before i get completey clueless i wanted to ask if its possible to get current setup

webmediaportal on win 2k8 iis 7 server, mpextended behind in LAN on different mashine.

i have a server running win 2k8 with my exchange server and so on, so i installed there the webmpextended iis edition, changed app pool to 32 bit, ... like in howto

then i added the site as application, pointed to the www root folder in mpextended dir.

when i know try to access the webmediaportsite http://mydomain.com/MPExtended i get the following list view ...

may any ideas what else todo ? do i also need mpextended service on win 2k8 server ? thought i could connect to mpextended service on 2nd mashine by changing WebMediaPortal.xml to

while 192.168.1.2 is the mpextended mashine ...

Looks like your ASP.NET isn't setup correctly. Have you installed ASP.NET and executed the aspnet_regiis command? You might also need to manually enable ASP.NET for the site you installed MPExtended on - not sure about that. I recall Exchange changing some IIS configuration too, so you might want to look into that (but also not sure).

EDIT: You also need to install ASP.NET MVC, but I'd expect another error message if you have ASP.NET installed but not MVC. Also try the usual troubleshooting things: restarting IIS and/or server, etc.

EDIT2: To answer your actual question, no, you don't need the service on the same server. The setup should be fine.

ok, gave it another try and saw ASP Net 4.0 wasnt activated in MPExtended App Pool, my fault,

now i get HTTP 503 service unavailable error when i want to access the page

ASP Net MVC is also installed ...

when i change to ASP 4 classic in app pool i get the MP Client librarie file not found error ...

Could you please post your logs (in C:\ProgramData\MPExtended\Logs) and the error you get?

An error about MPExtended.Libraries.Client.dll usually means that your application pool isn't set to allow 32-bits applications.

Hi again, checked again and there are no logs exept the installer log.

what i figured now is the ASP 4 Pool is closing when i want to access web mediaportal ... see pic below,
when i keep 32 bit on false pool stays active but known error occurs, exact same on asp 4 classic ...

may an idea what causes asp 4 to "crash" ? thanks ahead

ok, after editing some lines in applicationhost.config after checking event logs i came 1 step further

asp net doesnt exit anymore, now i only get a http 500 internal server error

log says
