# Final Solution - IIS Only
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Problem
|
||
|
|
iisnode 0.2.21 (from 2014) doesn't support Node.js 18.20.4 (from 2024)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Solution: Install Node.js v14
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 1: Download Node.js v14
|
||
|
|
- URL: https://nodejs.org/download/release/v14.21.3/node-v14.21.3-x64.msi
|
||
|
|
- Version: v14.21.3 (LTS)
|
||
|
|
- This version is compatible with iisnode 0.2.21
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 2: Install
|
||
|
|
1. Run the .msi file
|
||
|
|
2. It will replace Node.js v18 with v14
|
||
|
|
3. Or use nvm-windows to have both versions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 3: Verify
|
||
|
|
```cmd
|
||
|
|
node --version
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Should show: v14.21.3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 4: Restart IIS
|
||
|
|
```cmd
|
||
|
|
iisreset
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 5: Test
|
||
|
|
Browser: `http://localhost:8080`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why This Works
|
||
|
|
- iisnode 0.2.21 was designed for Node.js v0.10 - v14
|
||
|
|
- Node.js v18 uses different APIs that iisnode 0.2.21 doesn't understand
|
||
|
|
- Node.js v14 will work perfectly with iisnode 0.2.21
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## After It Works
|
||
|
|
Once `app.cjs` works, we can switch to `server.cjs` with your full Express app.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Alternative: Use nvm-windows
|
||
|
|
If you need both Node.js versions:
|
||
|
|
1. Install nvm-windows: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases
|
||
|
|
2. Install Node.js v14: `nvm install 14.21.3`
|
||
|
|
3. Use v14: `nvm use 14.21.3`
|
||
|
|
4. Then restart IIS
