  1. POHow to start node js script in a windows azure cloud project?
    text
    copied!<p>Am very new to node js and socket.io. I am using socket.io for a windows azure project. I have created an App.js which starts the socket.io server, but i dont know how to programatically run that script. I am able to run that script from command prompt like "node app.js" and the socket.io server starts and the client app is able to interact with socket.io server well.</p> <p>I can also go to 127.0.0.1/App.js and the socket.io server starts.</p> <p>But I want the script to automatically run as soon as i start the project in my VS. Any idea on how i can do that?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Turned out iisnode can handle everything , i just had to put a rewrite code in web.config. From a sample azure node js application from here <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/tutorials/getting-started/" rel="nofollow">http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/tutorials/getting-started/</a> i got this rewrite code</p> <pre><code>&lt;rewrite&gt; &lt;rules&gt; &lt;clear /&gt; &lt;rule name="app" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true"&gt; &lt;match url="iisnode.+" negate="true" /&gt; &lt;conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" /&gt; &lt;action type="Rewrite" url="App.js" /&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; &lt;/rules&gt; &lt;/rewrite&gt; </code></pre> <p>Its starting the App.js automatically, but its re directing all my views to the App.js script. I guess it has something to do with the re write code i put above. What changes should i make to get the App.js running on start up and still be able to access my other html views? </p> <p>Thanks</p>
