How to build and host a jsreport server on IIS

I have created a jsreport server with the free license and its working fine in the development mode. How can I build it to deploy in a IIS

Solution

  • You should be able to do it following these steps. However, I don't recommend running jsreport through IIS and recommend to use windows service instead. See below.

    1. remove httpPort property from the jsreport.config.json
    2. download and place sample web.config into jsreport app folder
    3. install iisnode Don't forget to have iis installed with all Application development sub features and also iis url rewrite extension.
    4. create standard iis website for jsreport folder and choose port and bindings you want, also don't forget to add security permissions to jsreport folder for IIS App Pool user when appropriate. IMPORTANT: Create a separate website. Don't just add application to the default website.
    5. try access website url in browser, jsreport should pop up

    However, we recommend using windows service instead of the IIS on windows servers. https://jsreport.net/learn/windows

    # install jsreport
mkdir jsreportapp
cd jsreportapp
npm i -g jsreport-cli
jsreport init
jsreport configure

# install service
jsreport win-install
