Not sure what the exact issue is but as you can see by the title iisnode isn't loading... 0000007f

This is the setup 32-bit XP Pro SP3 with Webmatrix (tried 1 and new 2.0 beta) and IIS Express 7.5

I'm thinking iisnode either that can't find the node.exe or can't get permissions to it but the error logged message is a little .... sparse.

To try and get it to work I have.... changed the permissions for the nodejs folder (from the installer from your blog) to include "Eveyone" to have full access but no change. Then I deleted the config from the My Documents\IISExpress\config folder to let webmatrix rebuild it... I then noticed that the global iisnode module reference was not included so I re-ran the iisnode-express installer (0.1.7.x86) repaired and the entries were created but there was no entry under web server... not sure if was needed... so I created one with the nodeProcessCommandLine set to various seetings of %programfiles% or real paths.... moving node.exe to %IIS_BIN% using %NODE_PATH% etc but to no avail

So maybe it isn't the path nor permissions any ideas?

Setup is not checking for x64 that subj must be installed before running iisnode.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=14632 fixing weird issue that "iisnode.dll failed to load. The data is the error."

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error

I'm am getting this error on a clean download and install of iisnode-iis7-v0.1.7-x86.msi under Windows 7 x64 with VS2010 installed.

No matter how I tweak permissions, app pool settings etc, I keep getting this.

Any ideas?

thanks, Andrew

Use different extension for server side JS?

Tomasz, how is it possible to include Socket.IO client library using IIS node?
According to official site recommendations, browser must follow url like http://[daemon]:[port]/socket.io/socket.io.js
For e.g., daemon runs as /server.js with rule

add name="iisnode" path="/server.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode"

I should use a rewrite of some sorts or there is another, better way?

This is really part of the contract between iisnode and node, not between client and node.

premature node process termination causes a race condition in closing handles in cnodeprocess.

Node process randomly freezes (does not accept new connections).
Application pool also hangs.

User must kill all node.exe instances "by hand" to overcome this.

OS: Win 7 Ultimate x64 / Intel i7 2600
IIS 7 (64bit)
IISNode for AMD 64 (0.1.3).

Behaviour of the previous build (32bit) is same.

I get the following error when trying to start the site in Webmatrix. "The worker process failed to initialize correctly and therefore could not be started. The data is the error."

I also noticed this in the error logs. "The Module DLL C:\USERNAME\AppData\Local\iisnode\iisnode.dll failed to load. The data is the error."

OS: Server 2008 R2 (x64 only)
IIS: 7.5
iisnode version: 0.1.6-amd64
nodejs version: both your 0.5.7-pre and official 0.5.7

It always returns 500. Fail tracking shows that iisnode throwed MODULE_SET_RESPONSE_ERROR_STATUS with exception 试图加载格式不正确的程序 (0xb) (translation: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format).

@Gissues:{"order":5.497685185185186,"status":"backlog"}

when node.exe dies or becomes unresponsive, terminate active requests and recycle process scope resources in the iis module

@Gissues:{"order":81.640625,"status":"notstarted"}

add a default.html page that can be checked into the logs directory or saved by iisnode automatically. the page helps to browse log files stored in that directory - detect and navigate the many log files plus ajax-based short polling to refresh the logs.

You state in the documentation that node should be located at %systemdrive%\node directory. Is there any chance to use the environment variable NODE_PATH, which is the same variable as Node uses for resolving the external module dependencies in windows ?.

Thanks
Pablo.

On my vista system the wscript of the install.bat could not execute the js file without the following change.

Update
C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe /B "%addsection%"
To
C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe //E:jscript /B "%addsection%"

replace active request quota per process with CPU utilization per process as a measure of when to create new node.exe processes for a given node application

System Configuration

Windows 2008 64bit
node.exe v0.5.5

Problem description

I can't seem to read files with the fs modules in iisnode.

Steps to reproduce

Modify the hello.js example to contain the following code.

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});

    var data = require('fs').readFileSync("helloClient.js");
    res.end('Hello, world! [helloworld sample]' + data);
}).listen(process.env.PORT); 

Browse to hello.js in a web browser.

The following error is displayed:

fs.js:222
  return binding.open(path, stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^
Error: ENOENT, The system cannot find the file specified. 'helloClient.js'
    at Object.openSync (fs.js:222:18)
    at Object.readFileSync (fs.js:113:15)
    at Server.<anonymous> (C:\inetpub\iisnode\www\helloworld\hello.js:7:19)
    at Server.emit (events.js:70:17)
    at HTTPParser.onIncoming (http2.js:1453:12)
    at HTTPParser.onHeadersComplete (http2.js:108:31)
    at Socket.ondata (http2.js:1349:22)
    at Pipe.onread (net_uv.js:312:27)

From Pablo Cibraro:

The module works great. I had some difficulties at the beginning to configure it, but it works in the end. It works fine for simple samples, but I guess the hard part would be to get it working with many of the libraries and frameworks out there. I tried to get it working last night with Express with no luck. Express is a Sinatra inspired web development framework for Node (Equivalent to WCF Web Api or MVC in the Node world). Unfortunately, it does not work as the framework does not like the named pipes addresses that the IIS module uses to communicate with the worker process running Node.

Hello,
Not sure if I should post this here...
I just installed iisnode and keep getting an 503 error on al my pages.
Any suggestions on this matter?
Thanks,
Peter

Add:
For some reason DefaultAppPool stops when trying to access a page or folder on the server.
The 503 comes from HTTP.sys because the pool is stopped. Mostlikely due to too much errors.
When I set the value of "Quick security against errors" to false the request keeps 'polling'.
Note: I have a dutch iis. So I tried to translate some iis feateures to english.

replace regex manipulation with programmatic modification

var versionMgr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.IIS.VersionManager");
var iisex = versionMgr.GetVersionObject("7.5",2);
var ahwrite = iisex.CreateObjectFromProgId("Microsoft.ApplicationHost.WritableAdminManager");

The location of the exe should be beyond the control of the application in a shared hosting environment. Likely it needs to be locked at the machine level. See "Granular Locking" section of http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/156/understanding-iis-70-configuration-delegation/

Hi!

I followed the instructions of how to install it from the link in the readme(http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2011/08/developing-nodejs-applications-in.html)

I could not use the msi installers because I'm in a x64, so I got the source and compiled to x86, and when I tryied to run install_iisexpress.bat there was a file missing 'addiisnodesectiongroup.js', then I just search for it in the history and got it......

And It worked.

Do not know if that file was meant to be deleted, anyway.....

Thanks for the iisnode!

Apps like https://github.com/ry/node_chat assume that process.env.PORT is a number. e.g.

fu.listen(Number(process.env.PORT || PORT), HOST);

On IISNode, process.env.PORT is a named pipe, e.g. ".\pipe\b2b4cb8c-7564-4408-80f5-3ba5f5809541", causing this code to blow up.

This may not be easily fixable, but should be tracked as part of a 'known issues' list

I am getting this error in a Win7 x64 (Intel) machine while trying to use the module. The application pool is marked to run 32 bits applications.

The Module DLL 'D:\nodejs\iisnode\iisnode.dll' could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports loading images built for a AMD64 processor architecture. The data field contains the error number. To learn more about this issue, including how to troubleshooting this kind of processor architecture mismatch error, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=29349.

Any idea ?. Do I need to build an specific version for x64 ?.

Thanks

I had to make a LocalSystem custom AppPool to get the samples to work. I'm sure this is a simple permissions issue, but it's unclear what permissions need to be give to the AppPool, iisnode and node.exe. Please advise?

This is due to a difference in the expected path between iis7 setup of the samples and iis7express (no root 'node' component of the path in the iis7express case). Find a way to make this sample work for iis7 and iis7express.
