How to run the odata-v4-server on iis

[egarim]

Hi I have a iis setup that is able to run node js files, for that i used this guide
https://www.hanselman.com/blog/InstallingAndRunningNodejsApplicationsWithinIISOnWindowsAreYouMad.aspx

after the iis setup is done, basically I just need to point the browser to the url of the js file containing the server like this "http://localhost/node/helloworld/hello.js"

but i the case of the odata server to start it, I use the command npm start. so for me is not clear to which js file should I point to start the saver as I do when I use node in iis

@egarim: you should target the index.js (lib/ts/index.js in the examples) or the main entry file for your server and should use the correct port by using process.env.PORT. odata-v4-server examples are using fixed port 3000. Although I don't know how IIS manages the URL after the script name to work with OData URLs.

Well so far I have been able to serve really basic files Check this url http://tinker.sv/node/node/lib/hello.js the content of that file is this var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}); res.end('Hello, world! [helloworld sample; iisnode version is ' + process.env.IISNODE_VERSION + ', node version is ' + process.version + ']'); }).listen(process.env.PORT); A really simple node js script But when I try to run the server as you advised me http://tinker.sv/node/node/lib/index.js I got this error https://www.screencast.com/t/iBK196q4n3P9 I’m going to contact the creator of the iis node module and let you know what he answer From: Viktor Lázár [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2017 2:22 PM To: jaystack/odata-v4-server <[email protected]> Cc: Jose Ojeda <[email protected]>; Mention <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [jaystack/odata-v4-server] How to run the odata-v4-server on iis (#17) @egarim <https://github.com/egarim> : you should target the index.js (lib/ts/index.js in the examples) or the main entry file for your server and should use the correct port by using process.env.PORT. odata-v4-server examples are using fixed port 3000.
