Aware, when you CAN'T use ports 80 & 443. How?

Jaymer

If I need to "co-exist" on a server that already has IIS running, and using the main ports, I can run Aware on any ports, right?

Are there any gotchas in doing this?

1st one I ran across is trying to have a subdomain come to the server. jaymer.mycoolapps.com
gets a 404 Not Found, because IIS hasn't been told anything about this (I assume).
So is there a built-in way in IIS to redirect a subdomain to http://mycoolapps.com:8080/AwareIM2/index.html ?
or do I do something like this? (this is a trick from this forum, in the ROOT dir to repoint to your bsv dir )

<% response.sendRedirect("/AwareIM2/index.html"); %>
<html>
<body>
test page
</body>
</html>

thx

You first need to add a site in IIS and add a http and/or https binding for jaymer.mycoolapps.com
Then you can use the HTTP Redirect feature in IIS for this specific website and send all requests to a different URL. If the HTTP Redirect feature is not installed in IIS, you can add it easily:

Having played about with Nginx as a proxy forwarder (which is probably much different to IIS) there are a number of quirks in getting it to behave nicely behind the web server. It would be great to have some documentation on how to set up AIM to work consistently with proxy forwarding web servers
