Michael,
Id be happy to provide you with the details of the IIS port.
Probably the best way to do this would be for me to zip up all the files used by my virtual webserver, and let you do a DIFF on them compared with your source.
For each application, I create a new virtual webserver host in IIS, and only install the files required for that app. I find it much easier to manage this way.
Once I have it working in its isolated environmnet, I then copy the files over to the "PRODUCTION' virtual web server.
I do the same with any updates. I created a new server for your V1.3 NPFrames, and then compared it with the previous converted running version.
For some reason, IIS didnt like the OPTION EXPLICT command on each ASP file, returning an error about expecting a command instead of OPTION EXPLICIT.
As for SlinkEServ via DCOM, I have to admit that the first time it starts up on the HS box, it does take a while for TTF to connect & settle down. However, I have found by seperating CDJ onto another PC, I have been able to run TTF on the HS server 24 hrs a day, never shutting it down, without a problem.
This also means CDJ is running 24 hrs a day on the other PC too.
When I used to have everything on the one machine, I would get lockups.
I very rarely have any issues now.
I, too, have moved over to use IIS to serve out all my web pages, and leave HS to process events.
Oh, I forgot to mention, that the CDJ PC actually has all the MP3 files and User database files on a thrid computer, my File Server. The HS box also maps to the same file server accessing the same files.
I found better performance and stability with TTF if I DISABLED TTF from copying the Album covers to the local HS HTML directory.
Instead, I created a Virtual Directory entry in IIS pointing to my file server, where the album cover art is, and configured NPFrames to pick up the artwork via that path. It works really well. I used to have TTF complain like crazy if it couldn't find the image for a given album.
Whilst that works really well, for some reason the NPFrames code to examine and build a list of playset files wont work via IIS web virtual directories. SO for that, I have had to configure NPFrames to look at a local REAL directory off of C:, and I have to manually copy over the playlist files from the fileserver to the real local directory.
Many thanks
