Yes, you can do it ... but it will still not be as simple as you might hope. :-)
The github wiki for iisnode has many advantages:
- Process management.
- Next to other types of content
- Scalability on multi-core servers
- Integrated debugging
- Automatic update
- Access logs over HTTP
- Minimal changes in node.js application code
- Integrated Management Experience
- Other
The first stable build on node.js for windows was released earlier this month. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/interoperability/archive/2011/11/07/first-stable-build-of-nodejs-on-windows-released.aspx
More information about hosting IIS on Windows can be found here here and here .
Prerequisites for Use
- for windows
- IIS 7.x with IIS Management Tools
- URL rewrite module for IIS
- Latest node.js build for Windows
- You can also do this manually by downloading node.exe from nodejs.org and save to% programfiles% \ nodejs on a 32-bit system or
%programfiles(x86)%\nodejs on a 64-bit system
- Visual C ++ 2010 redistributable package for x86 or x64 (skip this if you are installing Visual Studio; on x64 you need to install both x86 and x64 if you intend to use IIS Express / WebMatrix)
Installation for IIS 7.x
- Install iisnode for IIS 7.x: x86 or x64 - select the bit corresponding to your system
- To configure selections from the administration command line, call
%programfiles%\iisnode\setupsamples.bat - Go to
http://localhost/node
Installation for IIS Express / WebMatrix
