problem of installing Elgg on IIS web Server - elgg

I am installing Elgg on IIS web server and I got this problem:
Web server
We think your server is running the IIS web server.
The rewrite rules test failed. You need to configure your web server with Elgg's rewrite rules and try again.
How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Elgg officially only supports use on an Apache server. See here
That being said, people have made it work, and there's an Elgg doc on the issues involved in running Elgg on an IIS server.
In general, a good place to start for inquiries like this is the main Elgg technical docs.
Best,
Mike

Can we have an ASP.NET Core application alongside a WordPress sites?

I'm working for company which we have their own Virtual server for WordPress sites and It is running.
I don't know much about servers and hosts but I know that we run apache on server for WordPress sites and use cPanel for server management.
I create an application with ASP.NET Core 3.1 and Core is a cross-platform.
My question is ...
Can I run my application on this server without conflicting with other WordPress sites?
Thanks For Your Help!!
As long as you run your ASP.NET Core server on a port which is not used by another server, you should be fine.
Mahdi, Since you are using .NET Core you can host ASP.NET Core on Linux machines with Apache. For more details take a look at this article. To see how exactly to configure Apache reverse proxy take a look here.
Also bear in mind that you can run an entire WordPress Application over an ASP.NET Core Host seamlessly using PeachPie which is an open-source PHP language compiler and runtime for .NET and .NET Core frameworks. If you are interested in this take a look here.

ASP .NET Core app and myBB forum on one server?

I want to buy VPS (Debian/Ubuntu) and host my ASP .NET Core app and myBB forum on this machine. How can I configure Apache ( and everything what is needed ) to get something like this:
mydomain.com targets ASP .NET app
mydomain.com/forum or forum.mydomain.com targets myBB forum.
I had never dig into Apache configuration so I don't know how to do this. Any help will be appreciated.
You'll need to configure systemd to run your ASP.NET Core application as a service. Then you will need to configure Apache to reverse proxy your application (requires mod_proxy). In addition you will want to serve the forum content locally (try ProxyPassMatch).
Short of doing the work for you I would suggest you read the docs and try some tutorials out.
The simplest and most effective approach will be to use IIS. You can host myBB and you ASP.Net app without and issue.
For your Asp.net Core app follow this tutorial and for configuring and installing PHP (for your myBB forum) follow the tutorials here.

Integrating SpringSource with XAMPP server

I am going to ask if there's a way to add the XAMPP Tomcat Server to the SpringSource Tool Suite's server list under the Server project folder?
As far my knowledge goes, XAMPP stack does not have Tomcat, but an Apache web server.
And for Tomcat, yes you can configure it in STS check out this video. Though video explains it for Eclipse, it's going to be similar for STS too!

Can i host ASP.NET on an apache server?

I have heard of the pains of setting up IIS. On a windows box, can I simply drop a ASP.NET application into Apache server and have it work? Or are there any other server alternatives? I am relatively new to web server concepts. I have heard suggestions for the server in mono but it doesn't seem practical using mono on a windows box, I could use a Linux box with mono, which wouldn't surprise me if it worked better then a windows solution, but for arguments sake this question is directed towards a windows box.
Thanks
Try mod_aspdotnet.
mod_aspdotnet is a loadable Apache 2 module for serving ASP.NET content using the Microsoft's ASP.NET hosting and .NET runtime within the Apache HTTP Server process.
I believe there's a mod_mono you can use.
If you are windows user then you can go along with mod_aspdotnet
and if you are linux user then you can use mod_mono.

Recreate DefaultWebsite on IIS7 / Windows Web Server 2008

I have accidently deleted the default-website on an "experimental" machine.
It is a standard-installation of "Windows Web Server 2008" with II7 running.
I have already tried to create a custom website on my own, but this always fails when I try to access the website in the browser (remote and locally). There is an endless number of permission- and setting - errors.
Could you please show me a link to a tutorial on what to do in my case?
Or possibly any suggestions what common pitfalls are in such situations?
Thank you!
Daniel Lang
Make sure your site points to %systemdrive%\inetpub\wwwroot, and then it has little difference from the default one.
Learning about how to back up IIS settings on IIS is a must for beginners,

Save your custom code (virtual directories) and reinstall IIS? Probably cleanest.
