Step 1: Configuring MassTransit for web

To configure MassTransit for web, you must edit the files MassTransit.cfg and mtweb.ini. If you are upgrading from MTWeb on MassTransit 7.0.x or later, go to step 3. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, follow all of the steps below.

The following instructions assume that you have backed up your product folder, as explained in Upgrading MassTransit 6.x

  1. Update the mtweb.ini file. Don't copy your old mtweb.ini file in the new MTWeb folder, but edit it manually. To do so:
    1. Open the mtweb.ini file by using a text editor. Depending on your MassTransit version, this file is located in the MassTransit Server 7\MTWeb or MassTransit Server\MTWeb folder .
    2. Open the mtweb.ini file that you backed up from your old installation. You may want to rename this file to oldmtweb.ini, in order to avoid confusion.
    3. Copy the settings from the old mtweb.ini file.

      Note: Every line beginning with a semicolon (;) is consider commented, and its setting is not enabled. To enable the setting, first you must remove the semicolon (;), and then set the value appropriately.

      Note: All values that contain spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed by double quotes, otherwise the double quotes are optional.

    4. If you want to enable HTTP transfers, change the line beginning with HTTP_TRANSFER_ALLOWED = as shown below.

      HTTP_TRANSFER_ALLOWED="true"

    5. Verify that the line beginning with HTTP_STAGING_FOLDER = is set as shown below.

      HTTP_STAGING_FOLDER = "C:\php\tmp\"

    6. Save the new mtweb.ini file.
  2. Carefully update any customized code, by using the MTWeb backup folder.

    Note: There have been many changes to the MassTransit website for version 7. Contact Acronis Technical Support at https://support.acronis.com/mobility if you have any questions.

  3. Give the user account running the web process Read, Write, and Modify permissions for the parsed and templates_c folders within the MTWeb folder (by default, the path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\MassTransit Server\MTWeb). Usually, this user account is the <IUSR> one. For more information on how to grant different permissions on folders, refer to Frequently asked questions.

    Note: Every time the MTWeb files are updated, you must delete the contents of the parsed and templates_c folders, with the sole exception of the readme.txt files.
