How to host Angular app on local IIS server?

Question

I have created a new ASP.NET project, added the Angular Quick Start files, restored packages and built it. Ctrl + F5 opened the app on localhost:port and everything's okay. However, I want to host the project on IIS with domain local.project.com instead of localhost:port.

The steps I made:

1. Created a new website in IIS Manager Added permissions to project
2. folder for IUSER and IIS-USRS. Switched project to Local IIS in
3. Visual Studio and created Virtual Directory.

When I go to the http://local.project.com, I get 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

Answer 1

The problem was in that Application Pool, under which the app was run, didn't have necessary permissions. To fix this

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Select a file or directory.
3. Right click the file and select Properties
4. Select the Security tab
5. Click the Edit and then Add button
6. Enter "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" in the "Enter the object names to select:" text box. (change "DefaultAppPool" here to whatever you named your application pool.)
7. Click the Check Names button and click OK.

Also, don't forget to add local.project.com to the hosts file.
