1.8  How do I set up Windows Media Services and Internet Information Services (IIS) to use the HTTP protocol on the same server?

If you do want to set up Windows Media Services to stream content by using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on a Web server running IIS, both services will attempt to bind to port 80. You can avoid this conflict by changing the port Windows Media Services uses for HTTP streaming:

In the Windows Media Services snap-in, click the server for which you want to change the port allocated for HTTP streaming.

In the details pane, click the Properties tab.

In Category, click Control protocol.

In Plug-in, click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol, and then click Properties.

If you have more than one IP address available on your server, in IP address, click Allow selected IP addresses to use this protocol, and then click the specific IP addresses you want to use from the list.

In Port selection, click Use other port, and then type the port number you want to use in the space provided. HTTP port numbers can range from 1 to 65535.

In the details pane, in Plug-in, click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol. Click Enable to make the HTTP protocol available for streaming content from your server.

Have the network administrator open the corresponding port on the network firewall.

As an alternative, you can create multiple IP addresses on a single network interface card and then assign separate port 80 addresses to these IP addresses. You must then configure Windows Media Services and IIS to bind to different IP address/port 80 combinations by doing the following:

Open the folder %systemroot%\System32\Windows Media\Server\Admin\MMC.

Double click WMSHttpSysCfg.exe.

In the Windows Media Services HTTP Sys Configuration dialog box, in IP Address, type the IP address you want the HTTP.sys driver to use, and then click Add.

Restart HTTP.sys and IIS by either restarting the computer or typing net stop http /y && iisreset at the command prompt.

To verify that IIS only binds to the newly added IP addresses, type netstat at the command prompt.

In the Windows Media Services snap-in console tree, click the server for which you want to enable HTTP streaming.

In the details pane, click the Properties tab.

In Category, click Control protocol.

In Plug-in, click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol, and then click Properties.

In IP address, click Allow selected IP addresses to use this protocol, and then click the specific IP addresses you want to use from the list. Do not select the addresses that were added in step 3.

Click OK to apply the change.

In the details pane, in Plug-in, click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol. Click

Enable to make the HTTP protocol available for streaming content from your server.
