I've set IISNode up on a server, and followed a guide to get a simple hello world node.js app running with it. It works fine and it's externally accessible via the internet. However, when I try to incorporate my existing express app, it's like node/express aren't even there.
This is my web.config file:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="app.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
That is at the IIS application's root directory, along with app.js which is my main express file. What's interesting is if I go to localhost/TestApp/app.js, I get back:
Cannot GET /TestApp/app.js
However, if I try a different file, like localhost/TestApp/public/htm/index.htm, I get back the file that is located there (in HTML, as expected). Also, if I try and do a server call (e.g. localhost/TestApp/GetUsernames).
What's even more interesting is that if I mess up the port (e.g. app.listen(process.env.PORT2 );), I get this when I try and access localhost/TestApp.js:
> iisnode encountered an error when processing the request. > > HRESULT: 0x2 HTTP status: 500 HTTP reason: Internal Server Error
If the port is correct (app.listen(process.env.PORT2);), I get Cannot GET /TestApp/app.js, so it does look like IISNode is executing app.js (how else would it be failing when I mess up the port), but nothing seems to be working.
How might I fix this, or at least diagnose the problems?
Thank you.

You probably need to add a <rewrite>
section to clarify how to route the requests:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<!-- Don't interfere with requests for node-inspector debugging -->
<rule name="NodeInspector" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^server.js\/debug[\/]?" />
</rule>
<!-- First we consider whether the incoming URL matches a physical file in the /public folder -->
<rule name="StaticContent">
<action type="Rewrite" url="public{REQUEST_URI}" />
</rule>
<!-- All other URLs are mapped to the Node.js application entry point -->
<rule name="DynamicContent">
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="True" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="server.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Pulled from an example Azure node.js app.
