create-react-app on IIS 10

Question

I\'ve scoured the web searching for a solution on how to deploy a React App on Microsoft\'s IIS.

I have successfully managed to deploy multiple Node.JS Applications

Answer 1

I just tried this and it worked:

create-react-app myapp

yarn (or npm) build

• Open IIS manager and create a new website
• Point it at your build folder in the newly created react project
• Create a new application pool
• Right click on the app pool and under Process model find Identity, click the three dots
• Select custom and enter your windows credentials.

If this doesnt work you may need to enable read/write access to the files so right click on the website and select edit permissions

• Go to Security and hit edit, select Authenticated Users and on the bottom of the dialog check the modify/full control /read/write boxes where applicable. Do the same for your windows user that should be listed under Groups or user names section. Hit apply/save.

• Right click the website and go to Manage Website then browse.

Boom.
