I have node js api and it works when starting using nodemon from node terminal. Now I want to deploy it to IIS. How can I do it? Please reply, it is important.
To run Node.js apps on IIS on Windows, iisnode module is needed. Please follow this article to get going. Primary requirement to run your Node.js app on Windows is the iisnode module. If you follow the instructions carefully, you can get it working pretty quickly.
PS: You would also need to assign user IIS_IUSRS READ permissions to the folder (and its parent folder) which contains your Node.js API sources. web.config which mentions the iisnode module is very important for everything to work smoothly.

I have a problem, because I created NODEJS API and I have to deploy it on Microsoft IIS. I have never done this before. Is it possible to do? If yes, I will be very grateful if someone describes how to do this.
If you want to host node.js application, you should firstly install the node.exe and the a build of iisnode.
https://nodejs.org/en/#download
https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode
After installed the IIS nodes, you could set up samples, from the administrative command prompt call %programfiles%\iisnode\setupsamples.bat.
More details, you could refer to below article:

I don't think if that will help you but usually NodeJS don't need a server to be live unlike php or .NET so you can create a server on NodeJS itself and launched very easy .
also IIS used for statics content and .NET websites about 90% .
I have NextJS app with SSG. This functionality was added recently and according to it I should do next-export after next-build to get static files. But after appearing in 9.4 of Incremental Static Regeneration I need to keep server on by npm-start command (in my case I use custom server file with next-express functionality). It works good locally and It works good when I get artifact from Azure. But It doesn't work globally when it will be deployed finally. Help please
Through my attempts, I found that it is impossible to install globally or use next in Azure Web App. That is, it cannot be deployed through Github.Deploying using other methods such as FTP cannot run successfully. It should be related to the azure node environment.
But the method provided in this post says that it can be processed by adding web.config. I think it should be useful and helpful to you. Please read it carefully and try it.
You also can read this document, maybe it useful to you.
I have an node js express app for service module and angular app for web, which is deployed in the windows 10 iis server at the domains
"http://localhost:8011" and "http://localhost:8012"
If i test the site in my browser like
"http://localhost:8011" and "http://localhost:8012"
or
"http://{port number}:8011" and "http://{port number}:8012" it's working
but if same thing i open in others computer the angular application is working without any issue.
but the node js is not working
it's giving the error like
This site can’t be reached
{port number} took too long to respond.
Can any one suggest me what is the error and how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
It is not very clear from the question but from what I understand you are trying to serve a node express app through IIS?
If this is the case, you should look at the iisnode package which is really helpful. You will also need to install the IIS rewrite-rule module if this is not already installed.
If this is indeed what you are looking for let my know, and I will edit me answer to include more details.
We have created an application that runs on node.js using Angular2 but you have not launch it with "npm" which uses the lite-server. However, we are being told that we much run under IIS but the problem is npm loads all of the packages for you correctly, IIS and IISNode know nothing about all these packages we have downloaded via "npm". We have yet to see anyone who has ever created an Angular2 or even Angular application that runs under IIS using IISNode.
Does anyone know how we would have it load all the modules correctly?
I answered Mike's question within the issue he opened on the IISNode Repo on Github. Here are the excerpts from that issue answer.
Angular2, as far as I know, has nothing to do with IISNode and shouldn't present any issues with running your app in an IISNode environment.
IISNode provides a way to run node.exe on an IIS Server instead of using a process manager like pm2 or forever. You can run an Angular2 app hosted with a Node.js/Express backend easily by just following any examples for getting an Express server running in IISNode. Take a look at this tutorial I wrote on StackOverflow for getting an Express app running in IIS with IISNode. Once you've got your Express app running its just a matter of getting your Angular2 transpiled to a browser compatible JS version and serving that.
I was able to successfully run the Angular2 Quickstart in IISNode just now (I know this isn't a full blown app) and I also know I wouldn't have made my node_modules static but for the purpose of the exercise I have.
Here is the repo it works perfectly and loaded up just fine for me.
Just clone the repo, place on your IIS box and do npm i and you shou>ld be good to go. Make sure the app is reachable at root otherwise you'll need to do some additional work. Again I know this is simplistic but it is a demonstration that IISNode has no problem with loading the essentials of Angular2.
I have successfully tested the vline-node example locally, but would like to push it out to a server. I have tried to install the example as an application on an IIS8 website, placing the example code under wwwroot. I have done tried this both within the root and inside a virtual directory, pointing to the views folder. I am able to login to the application from a browser on the server, although, since javascript is turned off on the server browsers for security, so functionality is missing.
However, when I try to access the site from a remote browser I am not able to login. Actually, I can see that there is something wrong with my paths, as the include files are not found.
The more I've thought about this the more confused I've become. I'd like to run this under IIS, but wonder if that makes sense. Can someone offer a clean solution for hosting the vline-node example on a Windows Server, ideally under IIS?
Since you are using the node example, you'll need to make sure that node is actually running on your IIS server. Here's a SO response that may be helpful: How to run Node.JS server for a web application?
Note that in our node example the "main" file is vline-node.js, so use that in place of the app.js that is mentioned.
