Webmatrix - URL rewrite module - iis

Does anyone have any experience with creating URL rewrites in Webmatrix? Because it uses IIS Express instead of IIS 7, there's nowhere for me to create these rules.
I am deploying to IIS 7 on my production server, so if I need to do any rewrites, I need to make them directly in production to test.
Is there any way I can switch to using IIS instead of IIS Express on my local machine?
I have tried a few things to get local IIS working, but to no avail.

You can install IIS on a Windows 7 or Windows 8 machine by going to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure to install enough of the components to get a WebMatrix site working - ASP.NET & the management console for certain.
You can then create a virtual server for the directory your project is in and use the IIS management console to play around with URL rewriting. You may need to install the UrlRewrite module using the MS Web Platform Installer, available here:

If you need more help getting your local IIS working, give me some more information on how far you've got and I'll try and extend my answer.

How to use IIS Express 10?

I have installed IIS 10 On my Windows 10 PC but after installation I cannot find the application either in start menu or if I make a search for it.
I have tried to go to C:\Program files\IIS Express\ but can't understand anything there
I want to see the files of a website.
First you have to understand the difference between iis and iis express. IIS express would only be used by people who don't have access to IIS or want something that is lighter than IIS but more like IIS than Cassini. IIS 7 ships with the operating system and is tightly integrated to Windows. more information you can refer to this link:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/8396060/13336642
If you are installing IIS 10(not iis express), then you can find it in the start menu. If you can’t find it, you may have a problem with the installation. you can refer to the following article on how to install iis. If it is iis express, then you can use it in visual studio.

How to host a asp.net core MVC app in IIS?

I am familiar with .Net in general but new to ASP.Net Core. I just had my first "self-hosted" ASP.Net Core MVC app running (created using templet and runs under Kestrel by default) . What I would like to do now it to host it in-process with IIS. But what I am struggling with is that I couldn't seem to find a clear and detailed instruction/document about what I need to do to get it to work. I have tried various configuration changes on my own but nothing works so far. I am running .Net Core 3.1 and using VS.Net 2019 on my Windows 10 environment. If someone could point me to the right direction it would be highly appreciated.
As far as I know, if you want to host the asp.net core application on the IIS. You should make sure you have installed the right hosting bundle.
Notice: No matter you use in-process or out-of-process, you all need install the IIS hosting bundle.
More details about how to install it, you could refer to this link.
After install the link, you could check your IIS module to make sure you have installed the right asp.net core module.
Then you could use VS to publish the application to right folder and create the IIS web site as below:

Setting up Coldfusion 10 with IIS - Unable to configure IIS connector

I'm trying to setup Coldfusion to work with IIS on my Windows 8 laptop. I have installed the ISAP filter and extensions along with the CGI extension but when I run the wsconfig and add the web server it then throws the error "Unable to configure IIS Connector". What can I try next? I've made sure they're all enabled in the IIS manager also.
The coldfusion 8 webserver configuration tool states that it is compatible until IIS 7. This is probably why it fails to add the handler mappings for IIS 8.
I found that by uninstalling coldfusion and re installing worked, that way in the setup it was able to identify what web servers were currently running and give me the option to configure coldfusion with IIS. Hope this helps someone else too

ColdFusion10 Developer and Windows7 (IIS7.5)

I am trying to learn ColdFusion and have installed the developer edition (CF10) on my Win7 computer and this brings up the localhost administrator page correctly but I have a test helloworld.cfm file in inetpub/wwwroot and when I try & access this with localhost/helloworld.cfm windows opens a dialogue box saying what program should open this .cfm file?
(in IIS Mime type there is none for .cfm & when I tried to add one it didn't work...).
Several posts on the internet say ensure IIS has CGI enabled and ISAPI Extensions
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility which I have.
I'm not sure what is wrong here-can anyone advise me clearly & simply if I can view and use .cfm in IIS & how?
We know IIS is the problem because your administrator works, so CF is running correctly.
What I do is the following
create a site in IIS, just basic. no setting changes
install coldfusion 10
During install coldfusion will ask me if it has to configure all current IIS sites
if you let it do that, it should all work like a charm.
Did you do it like this?
I would uninstall and re-install as something must have gone wrong connecting IIS to COldFusion
CF10 does not require the IIS 6 compatibility. If you don't need that for any other web technology connections, then remove that. You do need CGI, .Net Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. I believe the connector configurator for ColdFusion especially uses the .Net Extensibilty to "wire things up".

ASP Net MVC 3 Application and IIS / IIS Express on windows 7 64 Bit

I have an MVC3 web application - it is a set of controllers and views without any DB access at the moment.
In the properties for the WEB App (in vs2010 Sp1) If I select
Use Visual Studio Development Server defaulting to a port 10905 then the app works great from an f5
If Instead I use local IIS WebServer with Use IIS Express ticked my project url is http://localhost:10905/ and the app works great.
But if I use local IIS WebServer with Use IIS Express NOT ticked my project url is
http://localhost/TunnelRats then f5 does not work - I literally get a browser popping up with no content displayed just the url address populated.
I created the virtual Directory (using the create directory button) and looked in the IIS Manager
The IIS Manager uses pool ASP.NET v4.0 which has enable 32 bit apps set to true and an integrated pipeline mode.
If I browsse directly from the virtual directory I get the same problem.
Its seems my IIS has a problem where my IIS express does not have a problem running my MVC 3 app.
I used aspnet_regiis -iru to reinstal v4 into IIS with no effect.
Any Ideas
thanks
Martin
might be that you do not have dynamic content enabled on you IIS.
Easiest way to set up IIS for asp.net this days is to use Web Platform Installer
