I'm trying to run express using iisnode. I followed the examples provided but when trying to use the latest Express version with a basic example, there's no way to make it work.
I'm getting the error Cannot GET /node/parislight/hello.js
and other times, just a The webpage cannot be found
.
My created a hello.js
file (main express file) taken from the express docs.
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.send('Hello World!')
})
var server = app.listen(process.env.PORT, function () {
var host = server.address().address
var port = server.address().port
console.log('Example app listening at http://%s:%s', host, port)
})
I added the necessary web.config
file (extracted from the express example within iisnode)
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<!-- indicates that the hello.js file is a node.js application
to be handled by the iisnode module -->
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="hello.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
</handlers>
<!-- use URL rewriting to redirect the entire branch of the URL namespace
to hello.js node.js application; for example, the following URLs will
all be handled by hello.js:
http://localhost/node/express/myapp/foo
http://localhost/node/express/myapp/bar
-->
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="myapp">
<match url="myapp/*" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="hello.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I gave all the necessary permissions to the used App Pool in IIS.
