M-Files Web stops working after every automatic update.

Erick Elizondo

It happens in two different servers, .Net 4.7.2/4.8, M-Files 23.1/23.2 at this moment.

Every time an automatic update occurs, the customer needs to reconfigure IIS, the "Physical path..." does not match the "Application Group". I've tried using %MFILESVERSION% but the behavior is the same:

(Above configuration is OK, just an example).

Is there a permanent solution for this behavior?

Is it a "normal" post update behavior?

Regards,

Erick

  • This looks like some manual setup that M-Files does not know about and does not maintain.

    By default, when the M-Files Wizard is used to set up the web access, M-Files Server knows about the site under which it is configured and updates the path and application pool while installing the new version. It seems not to be the case here.

    Another possible cause is if M-Files runs under some limited account with no rights to do these changes - then it would remain to be manual work.

    There is also one limitation when using virtual directories, which also requires manual work after the upgrade:
