Setting Up M-Files Web
The steps given here tell you how to enable these clients and services:
- M-Files Web
- Microsoft Office for the web services for M-Files Web
The classic M-Files Web, M-Files REST API, and M-Files Mobile are not enabled. If you do not want to set up the classic M-Files Web for the mobile apps, you can set M-Files Mobile to use gRPC. Refer to Setting Up M-Files to Use gRPC.
Make sure that these requirements are completed:
- The server uses M-Files
October '22 Update or later.
- If the server uses an older version, we recommend that you upgrade to a more recent version. Alternatively, refer to Setting Up the Backend for the New M-Files Web and Web-Based Add-Ins.
- The server uses IIS (Internet Information Services) and Microsoft .NET Framework (not .NET) 4.7.2, 4.8.x, or later.
- You are an M-Files system administrator on the server.
- The IIS modules URL Rewrite and Application Request Routing are installed on the IIS server.
- You have set up IIS binding for the website that users access with a DNS name, such as https://myvault.mycompany.com.
- If you want to create a new website for M-Files Web, do the binding setup after you have saved your changes in M-Files Admin.
Important remarks:
- If M-Files Web was previously set up on the server with the instructions in Setting Up the Backend for the New M-Files Web and Web-Based Add-Ins: We recommend that you remove the old configuration before you set up M-Files Web with the instructions given here.
- If you get an error during the setup, exit the wizard, fix the issue in IIS Manager, and start the wizard again. The error can be, for example, that a newly created website cannot start because the port number is already in use.
