Installing NopCommerce using the Web Platform installer - iis

If I install NopCommerce using the Web Platform installer, will the install give me an opportunity to choose the port I want to host it on ? I don't want the install to interfere with the application I already have running on port 80.

No, it won't. And it won't use port 80.
It's not an issue since the Web Platform installer for nopCommerce does not create a website in IIS. It creates a WebMatrix project, which hosts your nopCommerce installation in an IIS Express server.

Node server is mandatory to deploy in IIS?

I have compiled my code using typescript and run it in my laptop using node server.
Now when i deploy it in windows IIS server in another machine, do i require node server that machine?
Node is just for development and not for hosting?
Can you clarify my doubts?
YES. you need node server in the other machine as well in the machine in which you are deploying the code
As far as I know, 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.
Then you could go to http://localhost/node to see the example.
More details, you could refer to below article:

Nodejs Web Application in windows

I am new to NodeJS. I have created a web application (it runs at https://localhost:4321) in a Windows server machine using npm, gulp etc. How do I host it in the server. That is I want to open the app in the browser without having to use nodejs through command prompt and using "gulp serve" etc.
If you want to host your node.js app locally on Iis server on Windows machine you should definitely take a look into this project.

How to deploy node js in windows server 2012

I have a Windows 2012 server and hello world node js file (Only one js file along with Node_module folder).
Now I need to deploy it to the windows server and need to run it globally.
How to do that? Please help me!
I have read more article. But confused. I installed Node app on the server. I ran it locally. It is working. But How to do it globally. (www.xxxx.com/ABC)
You have two options:
iisnode. There are a few more configuration steps with this option, but there seems to be additional benefits.
allow port through Windows Firewall, the post is self explanatory.
iisnode

Deploying Java Servlet applications on Windows with IIS

I have develop JSP-Servlert application (i.e. WAR file) which running perfectly on tomcat server. Now I want to run same web application on IIS without tomcat.
Currently I am following this url: http://www.helicontech.com/articles/deploying-java-servlet-applications-on-windows-with-iis/
But while configuring Java hosting package as per mentioned in the above article, it is giving error to download jetty 8. Other softwares from the same package is getting download and install successfully.
When I checked the logs, I found that it is downloading the jetty from the URL: "http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-hightide-8.1.7/jetty-hightide-8.1.7.v20120910.zip" and all the codehaus services has shutdown.
Can anyone help me to install the jetty into IIS or any other option to deploy the WAR into IIS?
Thanks,
SameerK
Definately the easiest option, at the time of writing, is to use Microsoft's HttpPlatformHandler that you can install on IIS 8+ (Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 at least).
You basically need to:
Install IIS on your machine
Install JDK
Install Jetty on Windows (just download zip and unpack it)
Create WAR file
Copy WAR file to your Jetty's installation folder under webapps directory.
Set up IIS web site with web.config as described here.
That's it. You can view your site using http://localhost:your_iis_defined_port/your_war_name. If you rename your WAR to root.war then 'your_war_name' will not be necessary.
I have prepared a step by step guide on how to do that with more explanation.
After hours of trying i managed it by adding a ReverseProxy Rule, this is fairly easy and done super fast.
I had these dependencies installed already: AAR and HttpProxyHandler

How can I enable "URL Rewrite" Module in IIS 8.5 in Server 2012?

I have windows server 2012 and I have installed the IIS 8.5 but I could not see the URL rewrite module. How can I enable or install?
Download it from here:
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
or if you already have Web Platform Installer on your machine you can install it from there.
Worth mentioning: you should download the x64 version!
From the main download page (https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) click "additional downloads" (under the main download button) and download the x64 version (because for some reason - the default download version is x86)
First, install the URL Rewrite from a download or from the Web Platform Installer. Second, restart IIS. And, finally, close IIS and open again. The last step worked for me.
Thought I'd give a full answer combining some of the possible intricacies required for completeness.
Check if you have 32-bit or 64-bit IIS installed:
Go to IIS Manager → Application Pools, choose the appropriate app pool then Advanced Settings.
Check the setting "Enable 32-bit Applications". If that's true, that means the worker process is forced to run in 32-bit. If the
setting is false, then the app pool is running in 64-bit mode.
You can also open up Task Manager and check w3wp.exe. If it's showing as w3wp*32.exe then it's 32-bit.
Download the appropriate version here: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite#additionalDownloads.
Install it.
Close and reopen IIS Manager to ensure the URL Rewrite module appears.
