Integration with IIS

[JohnsonChris]

Morning all,

Is there anyway for SlimServer's WEB UI to be integrated into IIS?? The reason I ask is becuase I already have web services running for a number of different apps on my server, but all come off a core IIS installation, including use of SSL for security. But to get Slimserver to run I have to forward an alias to the correct web address and port.... surely there is a way for slimserver to run through IIS??

Cheers,
Chris

SlimServer runs it's own HTTP server. FWIW, there's talk about removing the HTTP server in a future version of SlimServer and instead relying on Apache server. I doubt if that will get you any closer to running the SlimServer perl application on IIS, though.

You should be able to run SlimServer on that same server by running it on a separate IP address. To do so you'll have to disable socket pooling on the server or IIS will listen on all IP addresses bound to the server.

If Slim decide to axe their built-in web-server and move to Apache, then it should be possible to host the web-site using IIS.
It just depends on whatever server-side scripting language that ends up being used. The current Web-UI uses custom function call afaik.
It's possible to host php web-sites on a server using IIS for example.

I don't know what the plan is as there's a lot of web re-factoring going on for 6.5. May the custom function calls will be re-implemented as PHP functions to keep as much functionality as possbile from breaking.

I have IIS, Apache and the Slim server running on my file/web server. No problems and very little resources taken up.

Certainly the plan will not involve either IIS or PHP. ;)
