I installed everything mentioned in the thread and did everything as mentioned.
Running PlexConnect.py still tells me the socket error for port 80. Is it possible to keep the IIS alive when I configure the rewirteURL etc?
Then I tried to create the certificate. While installing OpenSSL light it tells me that the Visual C++ 2008 Restistributables are missing. Ok installed them, though the 2010 redists are still installed. Started the server again. Message still comes up. Ignored it.
Now I try to generate the certificate. Got an error message concerning the openssl.cnf (is missing).
I know that ignoring warning may result in problems. But the redists are really installed. Do you think the error message concerning the missing openssl.cfn has something to do with that?
Still the port 80 issue. Can someone answer my question if it is possible to run my existing IIS with the rewrite method or do I absolutly have to cancel the IIS?
In another thread there was mentioned "net stop http". Tried this also, but after shutting down all services I got the message, that http can't be stopped. hmmmm. Port 80 issue still alive.
Isn't setting a path the same as starting the executable within that directory?
>>port 80
Easiest thing would be to re-map your IIS to another port, thus freeing up #80.
Drawback: When you want to access your server, you have to add that port number.
I am no expert on IIS (or any other web server for that matter)... but I think bwynants and others did set up a redirect for Apache on Synology. Check out their thread, you might find something useful there.
