Run react isomorphic on iis

Question

I'm trying to get react running using node.js with iisnode on iis

I've installed the latest node and the latest iisnode and used this stackoverflow as a guide but can't get past error 500. How to run Node.JS server for a web application?

any guides on how to do this on iis?

Could you put a sample app along with the iisnode configuration somewhere on github? It may very well be an environmental issue, but looking at the code may be worth a try. – Ethiop

If you need multiple processes, you could use Node's built-in clustering

Here are two ways to proceed :

1. Easyest way IMO
