I'm trying to setup Application Request Routing (v2.5) on my Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5.
So far I got this:
IIS 7.5 running two sites
www.domain1.com
test.domain1.com
IIS 7.5 with a webfarm called My-Farm with one server: test.domain1.com
Apache Tomcat running some server on www.domain1.com:10000
I'm able to route requests coming to www.domain1.com to the webfarm but I don't see any result coming from test.domain1.com?
I also tried changing servers at step 2 above to localhost or www.domain1.com:10000 or localhost:10000 but whatever I do the requests aren't proxied.
Am I setting ARR up correctly?
In ARR, when hosting the sites locally in the same server as ARR, I tend to split the public facing sites (receiving the requests) from the proxied sites.
In your case your could have something like this:
IIS:
- Site 1 (binding: test.domain1.com:80)
- Site 2 - proxied (binding: 127.0.0.1:22001)
Rewrite Rule
- Match All
- {HTTP_HOST} matches test.domain1.com
- {SERVER_PORT} does not match 22001
- Action: Route to Far
This way, requests arriving to Site 1 are routed to Site 2 when requesting test.domain1.com. The port change and the rule avoid ARR routing requests to site 2 again.

I have two servers, Server 1 (A Windows Server VPS) and Server 2 (A Linux VPS).
Both servers are running NodeJS API using PM2 without anything like apache or nginx or whatever.
What I want is to redirect all requests from Server 1 to Server 2 because I want to shut Server 1 down after a while.
Server 1 address: www.pharmart.sy
Server 2 address: www.pharmartco.com
I don't want to redirect using the res.redirect method because that would break my application.
The application is a Mobile Application that's why I don't want to use the res.redirect method, and I have the link to the server hardcoded in the app so I need to upload another version of it in order to change the link to the second server. I also can't make sure that everyone updates the app and that's why I need to redirect all the requests to the second server.
So all the redirection handling should be done on the Windows machine.
What is the best way of doing that?
Here are a couple ideas:
DNS
Change the DNS for the server 1 domain to point to the server 2 host. So, then all requests to either DNS name will go to server 2. You may have to wait a little while until any local DNS caching effects time out. An advantage of this approach is that while you are waiting for DNS caching effects to expire, everything stays up as requests either go to a working server1 or a working server2. When cached DNS has finally expired, all requests will be going to server2 and you can then take server1 down.
Your Proxy
You could replace the current server 1 process with a proxy that points to server 2. So, any requests incoming to server 1 will be proxied over to server 2. Since a change like this probably can't be made instantly, you might have a short amount of downtime for requests coming into server1.
Hosting Proxy
If this is running at a hosting provider, then they probably have a proxy service already running that proxies your public DNS IP address to your actual host. That hosting proxy could be reconfigured to direct requests for server1 to server2 instead.
I have only 2 Servers (windows server 2019), setup their IPs (172.10.10.2 & 172.10.10.3)
I Installed ARR on Server 1
I want Server 1 as Content Server as well (due to limited resources)
I deployed Sample Application on server 1 and server 2
Set the Load Balance Algorithm as "weighted round robin" with even distribution.
The Default rewrite rule mostly display server2 application and if the browser request on server 1, it gives error "Bad Request".
what is solution for that, what should be the custom rule to fix the problem?
I've got various websites on my local machine, and I'm trying to test a client within a VM that needs to access one of the sites. I've added a line to the VM's hosts file that makes localhost point to the Host IP Address.
All of the sites are on https with a certificate assigned to localhost and signed by a CA that's trusted by the VM.
The VM can access all of the sites, apart from one that's running on IIS Express. For the one that's running on IIS Express, I can access it fine with the IP Address or another hostname, but with localhost it comes back as forbidden.
I also put another line in the hosts file that points another domain at the same ip address as localhost, and that worked as well.
So on the VM:
https://localhost/Site1 works, points to another site running on regular IIS
https://localhost:44134 doesn't work, 403 Forbidden, points to IIS Express
https://10.0.11.10:44134 works, points to IIS Express
https://machinename:44134 works, points to IIS Express
https://different.domain.com:44134 works, points to IIS Express
I've checked the binding in IIS Express and it's like this, which I believe is correct:
<binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44314:" />
And the urlacl is this, which I think is correct also:
Reserved URL : https://*:44314/
User: \Everyone
Listen: Yes
Delegate: No
SDDL: D:(A;;GX;;;WD)
Is there something special with localhost? The VM is running Windows 7.
Edit:
I've created a new Asp.net MVC app that runs on http (so not using https this time) and port 57811.
http://localhost:57811 doesn't work, 403 Forbidden, points to IIS Express
http://10.0.11.10:57811 works, points to IIS Express
http://machinename:57811 works, points to IIS Express
http://different.domain.com:57811 works, points to IIS Express
So the issue is nothing to do with https, or the specific site.
I have this IIS7.5 with ARR installed on and configured as a reverse proxy to another server which is running IIS7.
On this IIS7.5 I have ASP.NET 4 applications and simple websites installed.
Since configuring a farm on this IIS7.5 running it as a reversed proxy, the local application doesn't run with this error message:
502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.
Will it be possible to run both local application and routing (reverse proxy) on this IIS7.5 at the same time or should I give up and move the applications to other servers?
Application request routing operates as a server-wide URL-rewriter.
This means that it captures all traffic coming to a box.
You can still host an IIS website on the same box, but you need to make sure that ARR leaves the requests for this site alone.
I set this up so that the ARR rule, while still remaining a wildcard *, I make sure that part of the match conditions is for requests to my local site to be left alone.
There are a number of conditions you can use to create a does not match rule.
Ive used:
{HTTP_HOSTNAME} if you are just doing HTTP requests and just want certain domain names to be left alone.
{SERVER_PORT} if you're hosting an SSL site and are the only one on the box.
{LOCAL_ADDR} if your site sits on a dedicated IP address.
many more.... really you just need to set up rules that exclude your locally hosted website.
I've got 2 applications running on my local machine. One sharepoint and another IIS application:
localhost:43442
localhost:5080
I've installed ARR and need to configure it to run these 2 apps on a host and port but when adding a new server, it only accepts a server name rather than its port as well.
Any help?
For me, I needed to add a server to my server farm, called localhost. Clicking Advanced Settings... lets you specify the http and https ports. Set those to the ports that you would like your domain proxied to.
After that, create an inbound rule for URL Rewrite that matches the HTTP_HOST condition with a pattern of your website domain that the server is acting as a proxy for. Select Route to Server Farm for the action and select the specified server farm.
I added a new Inbound Rule and it worked :)
