Mormot Production Mode

Hello all together,

once more i need your help.

We have the following situation:

We developed our Mormot Server on a single machine (localhost) as a Rest Server which serve JSON Content via Interface and Method based Services.

All work fine. We developed an angular application as frontend as well.

Now we want to host the Mormot Server on our Production Server. This is a virtual Server which is hosted in a Cloud.

This Server got IIS installed and got multiple Sites configured on the port 80 and 443 (for ssl).

Now i want to deploy the mormot server aside the IIS. He shall listen on a different Port. I Can register a Server and i can see that an URL become registered.

We add port filter rules to the firewall so the Messages get forwarded to our Server. But we cant reach the Mormot Server external nor via our web application.

Is it possible to have IIS and Mormot listen on different Ports on the same server ? Or do we have to use another Server for mormot ?

We wrap our head around this for now 3-4 days. But we cant get it to work.

Maybe one of you can help us out here.

If further Information are needed, just request them.

Thank you all for your time.

Re: Mormot Production Mode

Its a bad idea to listen on non standard port. Better to listen on 80/443 but on different uri

Re: Mormot Production Mode

Under Windows, the mORMot server can listen on the very same port than IIS (80 or 443), if you register explicitly the URI of the server.
It is a standard way of using http.sys / IIS under Windows, called "namespace reservations".

Well, I think using IIS as a Reverse Proxy, via the Url Rewrite module, it's the most flexible and controllable way.

Re: Mormot Production Mode

I have used reverse proxy with Apache and mORMot, worked well.
