Deploy angular application on IIS

问题:

I am working on AngularJs application with node.js. Using gulp, I have created (compiled) my application (app in below image) and got the following directories

Now I completely struck how to proceed next. I want to host this application over IIS to run and see the pages (in views folder) but I don't know how to host it on IIS.

I tried this article, but it guides to use express server.

The issue is, how IIS will figure out that the first page lies in views folder, and even if I use the complete url

http://localhost:8078/views/index.html

it shows me all angular code with brackets like {{logginuser}} etc

EDIT: Do I need web.config file here or not. If yes then how I will define entry point to the application?

回答1:

Just have to configure a Web Application under a website in IIS and create a custom web.config.

1. In IIS, go to the Default Web Site, right-click and select Add Web Application
2. Set the Alias to be AngularApp and the Physical Path to be the root of your directory

3. Add a web.config file at the root of the directory with the following code

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <configuration>
     <system.webServer>
       <defaultDocument>
           <files>
               <add value="views/index.html" />
           </files>
       </defaultDocument>
     </system.webServer>
   </configuration>
   

4. Browse to your new Angular application by going to http://localhost/AngularApp (assuming http binding in IIS).

Lost 2 hours with this The solution was to go to WINDOWS FEATURES and check 'static content', under COMMON HTTP features.

Hope this helps someone.

You need set as start page to you main screen (like index.html)

How can I set it in IIS?

Just go to web.config file and add following

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear />
        <add value="index.html" />//Path of your Page
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
