Can I configure IIS to route traffic to another server? - wordpress

Question

I have a Windows server available at website.com, and I have another server with a WordPress on it.
How can I configure IIS to route website.com/blog to my WordPress?
I tried to use virtual directories, but I can only send my user to the same server.

Answer 1

According to your description, I suggest you could consider using ARR reverse proxy to achieve your requirement.
I suggest you could install the ARR by using this link and this link.
Then I suggest you could try to use below url rewrite rule.
<rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule2" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="/blog/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://ec2 ubuntu address/{R:1}" />
</rule>

Thank you,it worked but I had to add more code to my web.config.
My web.config:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Route the requests for Company1" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="^(https?)://" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://blog.raczum.com/{R:0}" />
<serverVariables>
<set name="HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" value="" />
</serverVariables>
</rule>
<rule name="Route the subfolder blog" enabled="false" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="https://raczum.com/blog/*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="^(https?)://" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://blog.raczum.com/{R:1}" />
<serverVariables>
<set name="HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" value="" />
</serverVariables>
</rule> </rules>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyOutboundRule1" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1" enabled="true" stopProcessing="false">
<match filterByTags="A, Area, Base, Form, Frame, Head, IFrame, Img, Input, Link, Script" pattern="^http(s)?://blog.raczum.com/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="/blog/{R:2}" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false" />
</rule>
<rule name="RewriteRelativePaths" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1" enabled="true" stopProcessing="false">
<match filterByTags="A, Area, Base, Form, Frame, Head, IFrame, Img, Input, Link, Script" pattern="^http(s)?://blog.raczum.com/(.*)$" negate="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="/blog/{R:2}" />
</rule>
