Well, the requirement was PHP and CuRL, so you don't really need Apache - you could just use IIS which it sounds like is already running. Or try removing/disabling IIS.

I was able to get it working using the built in IIS server. You simply have to install PHP using the Microsoft Web Platform installer. After that you create a virtual directory on the default web site in which you put the mediafrontpage files.

The part I am working on now is to proxy sickbeard, couchpotato, and sabnzbd so that I only have to have 443 and 80 open. Sabnzbd seems to be working using something I found on the wegotserved wiki about setting it up in IIS. It breaks sickbeard and couchpotato though when the same concept is applied.

Excellent! I'll try to get the basics working this weekend hopefully. Please let me know your progress on the proxy stuff as well, I'm very curious.

Also if you could do a short write up about how you did this it would be excellent.

Hi everybody,

great work so far. Everythin works well exept for the Coming Episodes Widget.
Its to small so the Series doesn't fit in it.
Here is a link to a Screenshot that shows the Problem:

So I'm getting close, but I'm running into an issue. I first created a new MediaFrontPage site under Web Sites in IIS and it worked, but I realized that would break the normal WHS site. So I removed that site, then created a virtual directory under WHS Site that pointed to the MediaFrontPage folder. When I attempt to access it with http://server/mediafrontpage, I get the following error: This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed. Googling around gave me some hints (I added index.html to the default content page and checked Directory browsing in the properties) but nothing has fixed it. Any insight?

For the others who are trying to do this with IIS, as soon as I get it working I'll write up a brief newbie-friendly howto guide. Smile

What browser are you using?

Hi, tried it with different browsers but mostly Firefox.

I'm using google chrome with a resolution of 1680x1050 and everything looks perfect. Not sure why yours overlaps though - possibly your resolution is too high?

Running XAMPP on windows and getting the top bar ok but below that all I get is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\8082\functions.php on line 13

I haven't touched inside this file and can reach the JSONRPC active and working page fine which I put in $xbmcjsonservice

Any ideas?

*edit* Ignore me, I didn't have curl configured in xampp php.ini file

I have it working fine locally, externally I have a few issues, mostly I think due to me putting my internal IP address into the settings, should I just use localhost instead or my external dns name?
Also, I get no thumbs when browsing XBMC, I even changed it from vfs to the ip/xbmc/vfs but still no thumbs and if I put that path into IE I don't get a page.
Finally, the themes on page 7, how do I enable those or do I need to wait for them to be added into github?

Edit*
For the thumbnails with http://IP:PORT/xbmc/vfs/ in the config file for $xbmcimgpath I am seeing the url below when hovering over the images
http://IP:PORT/xbmc/vfs/special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/359bfc2a.tbn

@Avigrace

You should put in your external IP. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and use that IP. Also open up the ports in your router and/or modem for the various services that you use.

Hi,
no i have the same Resolution at home. Even at work it shows the Coming Episodes Site not right.

Are you running the latest version of SickBeard. This is just a framing of their page with the CSS overwritten, so I'm thinking maybe there is some HTML/CSS issues there.
