Cloud Service and IIS

[philchudley]

Hi All

Got the cloud service and OSLC working using the default installation, but only on my own machine. Access from any other machine on the internet fails with an error cannot connect to

I have tried this with my network machine ID and my IP address, with the same result

The notes accompanying the Cloud Services, state that IIS integration is not configured, just the files are copied to the installation folder.

What files are these?

How to set up IIS to work with Cloud Services?

Do Cloud Services work with IIS Express?

If so, how do you configure IIS Express to work with Cloud Services?

All advice most appreciated

Thanks

I've only tried with the full IIS (although I've done multiple versions)

Does the express version work with either ISAPI modules or http modules?

Anyway, it probably doesn't matter. IIS integration isn't required to access the server from another machine. As there is a built-in webserver, and using that is much easier than trying to integrate with IIS.

Inside the config file you'll find a section to listen for http connections on a port. The simplest set-up is

Code: [Select]

(
SERVER_PORT=80
REQUIRE_SSL=0
)
(ie. Listen on the default port for http connections and don't worry about certificates required for https)

Restart the server after making a change to the config file. Then if other computers can't access this port it's blocked by a firewall.

Thanks for that Simon, most appreciated and it now works perfectly

You were correct in that the Firewall on my machine was indeed blocking the Port

Thanks again
