[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7789"] I decided to give the web interface a try today. My MP machine is not finished as yet and is in my office lab while its being put together so I installed the web interface on my Thinkpad T-40 where I have a test instance of MediaPortal. This notebook also serves as a development platform for PERL web applications so I had to stop IIS before using it. On this machine MP and the web interface are installed in "E:\program files\mediaportal\". In this configuration the web interface accesses the TV channel and program database without a problem, but for some reason thinks MP is not running. This is no big deal in this case as I just wanted to get a taste of the interface and mechanism. I can access the channel and program database so at least I did get to "play with it." Two strange things however. As I said it thinks that MP is not running and no matter what I set as the "thumbs' path the logos don't show up. The source of the output webpage shows the image source as "/MPthumbs/image_file.png". The MP logos are stored in the "/thumbs/tv/logos/" directory and MP accepts JPGs which is what mine are. Nicely done and an excellent tool for MP and so especially for my household. Every member of my family has a notebook on our WLAN and all of them are almost always turned on (once my MP machine is up and running it will be the 8th PC in my house!) Just out of curiosity, why did you opt to use Apache rather than the inbuilt IIS that is part of XP Pro? Do you have any guidance available on moving the application to use IIS rather than Apache?
