I've
tried to install this on my IIS server but can't get it to work!
First, read this
article.
The basics steps are to copy the WMEWebsite folder to your
web
server, configure this folder as an Application in IIS, make sure the
Read checkbox is checked, set Execute Permissions to "Scripts only",
verify "Default.aspx" is listed in the Documents tab, and make sure
ASP.Net v2.0 is selected in the ASP.Net tab (you did remember to
install the .Net
Framework 2.0, right?)
I
did all the above and it's still not working!
If you're running IIS6 make sure the "Network Service"
account
has NTFS Read rights to the folder and all files under it. If
you're running an earlier version of IIS, assign these rights to the
"ASPNET" account instead. More information about doing this
is
available here.
Also verify that the ASP.Net v2.0 web
service extension is enabled on your IIS server.
Be sure to edit the web.config file and type in a valid user and
password under the identity XML tag. This is required since
the
IIS worker process cannot launch Windows Media Encoder:
<identity impersonate="true"
userName="User" password="pass"/>
You can also turn off debugging to improve performance:
<compilation debug="false"
strict="false" explicit="true"/>
How
do I disable/remove/edit objects on the page?
Since you can't delete objects out of the ASPX file
without
crashing the program, you'll need to set them to invisible if you don't
want them displayed. This is done by adding visible="false"
to
the line, for example:
<asp:Label
ID="lblServer" runat="server" visible="False"
Font-Bold="True" Style="z-index: 101; left: 8px;
position:
absolute; top: 16px" Text="WMS Server:" Width="720px"
Font-Size="X-Large"></asp:Label>
Additionally, you can freely modify other attributes of the object such
as its location and color.
Are
there any settings that can be changed?
Besides modifying objects in ASPX files as shown above,
there
are also several settings in the web.config file that control the
program's behavior. These settings are listed under the
"<AppSettings>" element in the file, and comments within
the file
describe each one. You can change them using a text editor
like
Wordpad.
I
want a new feature/change added.
