How do I connect a WT app with IIS 7?
Added by Sev Ax about 14 years ago
Hi all,
I have written a small application in WT. I tested it on my machine and it appears to be running good. I also have a small website hosted on a Windows server that runs IIS 7.0. Is it possible to connect the two without having to disable the IIS? (As far as I know my hosting provider has some sort of isolated application environment for users' apps)
Thanks for any help!

Hello Sev,
I'm not an expert in IIS, but what you should do is:
- run your Wt app on a different port, e.g. 8888
- configure IIS as a reverse proxy, that forwards all traffic to http://yoursite/myapp to http://localhost:8888/myapp
We do this with apache as server on www.webtoolkit.eu

Thank you Wim.
It took me ages to set up, because of several obstacles in the process, the most important being the need for a VPS. In case anyone is wondering, I managed to do the reverse proxy setup using an ISAPI filter (my choice was IIRF, was simple and free). On IIS 7 this is done more easily using its own utils, but I am on IIS 6.
The difficult part has been done. My issue now is that the buttons are not responsive when I use my application through the reverse proxy, while they work all right when I run the app from localhost:8080/myApp. Any thoughts on this problem might be helpful.
