mORMot Open Source

This is a simple solution to deploy mORMot server on IIS and let it control ip restrictions, https certificates, logs, etc...

Instructions to deploy:

- Create you mORMot server to get port number to listen from commandline first parameter.
- Install httpplatformhander https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft … ormhandler
- Create a folder and copy your mORMot server exe and files you need
- Configure IIS with domain and port you want to listen, cerfiticates etc. and set site path to folder where you copied your mORMot server.
- Create/edit web.config on this folder like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="httpplatformhandler" />
      <add name="httpplatformhandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
    </handlers>
    <httpPlatform stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\ConsoleOut.log" startupTimeLimit="20" processPath=".\mORMotServer.exe" arguments="%HTTP_PLATFORM_PORT%"/>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

That's all! You have your app working with IIS!

All you need is a IIS7.5 or up with httpplatformhandler installed. This handler works as a reverse proxy, passing all requests to our application. Azure has installed this handler on its AppService plataform solution.

Benefits from having our app behind IIS:

- Binding on a especific ip, port and hostheader*
- Manage https certificates*
- Write W3C format log with all received requests
- URL Rewriting
- Every worker can raise an instance of your application
*can be managed with netsh, but with IIS is more simple.

This is the simplest way, but you can configure IIS with ARR (Application Request Routing) as a optional solution.
