Is it possible to publish an app on the web pi using iis express (and forcing the installation of it) rather that using straight up IIS?
You need to create a custom feed for Web PI, a hand crafted XML file, that you can load from the Options dialog.
Here is a series of blogs on how to create custom Web PI feeds:
Web PI Extensibility: Custom Feeds – Installing Custom Products
Web PI Extensibility: Custom Feeds – Installing Custom Applications
Here is an example of a product and app that are distributed through a custom feed:
Install SIR Web Application with Web PI
And here is how you can test whether your feed doesn't have any errors by plugging into Web PI APIs:

Later, in the same dialog, you can choose to have your app installations against IIS Express by selecting:

I am new to web development, I am learning it on the way as I develop my application.
I have an ASP.NET Core 6 MVC app that basically does this:
Starts with a Login
After login you can view the data
You can manipulate data on the view page
You can view some logs, and acknowledge them
So, my app works just fine when I run it from VS 2022.
I would like to deploy the app, so it can be used within the company. It all works on an internal network.
I have two options for deployment and to host the app from:
Windows Server 2019 (IIS)
Synology NAS
It really doesn't matter for me, but I have been through more than a dozen of tutorials/videos, but could not get it work either way.
I have tried different publishing methods.
I have .NET Core Hosting 7.0.2 and Web Deployment installed on the Windows server.
Basically my published file structure doesn't look like in some of the tutorials.
The furthest I've got is that I can load the page on the Windows Server 2019 machine, it shows the login page, but after I press "Login" it says ".../LoginController" Page not found.
So, after this chaos, can anyone give me some guidance where should I look for the solution? I thought it would be a good idea to use MVC, but now I think it would be much easier with a simple ASP Web app...
Eventually, after I got to the Login page (as I mentioned), I figured out the problem there. I am using cookies, which were set to "secure" in the program, but I was usint http instead of https. As a test, I have set the cookies' "Secure" property to "false", after that it worked.
At least I know where to go next.
I know that SWUpdate has its own embedded web server with which is possible to upload the image file for the upgrade.
I already realized a small web page with Node.js that I use to do some configuration on my board, and I would like to know if would be possible to add in it my own web page for upgrading the software, just like embedded SWUpdate web server does. In short, I would like to integrate a webpage for the upgrade in my node.js web server, instead of use the standard one.
I suppose I should use a specific protocol to make my custom web page to be "transparent" to the board.
Is it possible? Has someone already tried? Thanks
I am more towards to infrastructure but want to learn web app.
I have been given access to Windows server + IIS, how do I know what web framework or even just what language of this web app? Thanks
install "Wappalyzer" browser extension
The extension automatically checks pages you visit and reveals the technologies the website is built with.
I have make a simple web application in express (Node.js) with ejs as a template/view system.
Very simple. For some reasons I need to make that app working on mobile devices just to have some push notifications: chrome notifications works great but some devices (android) have this feature blocked by default also IOS blocks chrome notifications
So the only way is by converting this simple web app into some kind of mobile app. Ionic look's great but you need to adapt your view tags and code..also I don't know if you can combine it with express.
Which will be the best way to adapt an web app running in express to mobile?
I was currently solving the same problem for my new problem you can Convert your Web App to a Mobile App with Apache Cordova , specifically using the Ionic framework, you won't change much on Server side(node.js), however few change as to be made on angular js and very little on view to adapt on ionic design view which very similar to bootstrap tags
I am trying to build a mobile web app using worklight .I checked the IBM website but they have limited documentation on it.I wanted to know is there any inbuilt API provided by IBM in order to develop the mobile web app?
I am specifically looking for API to to control the refresh button and the back button in mobile web browser
Why limited? Where did you look? There is comprehensive user documentation and training modules in the following websites:
IBM Worklight Getting Started training modules
IBM Worklight user documentation: client-side JavaScript API reference
Regardless, there is no such thing as "controlling a browser's Back and Refresh buttons".
These buttons are provided by the mobile browser and are out of scope for whatever is running within.
It would be more beneficial for you to edit the question and explain your specific scenario - what it is that you are actually trying to accomplish.
In Worklight, you have WL.Client.reloadApp, for example, which can be used to refresh the web resources displayed. As for "back button"-like functionality, this can only be determined once you explain what you are trying to accomplish.
Additionally, keep in mind that while Worklight provides some API methods for controlling UI elements, it does so only to a certain degree and only for elements that are most common to all mobile environments (iOS, Android, ... for example, creating a tabbar); when you develop a web app for the Mobile Web environment, you cannot control via the app things like the Refresh button that the mobile browser supplies.
Lastly, you can and probably should opt to 3rd party frameworks such as jQuery Mobile and the like for the UI aspect in your Worklight application.
