Run or deploy Go (Golang) project code in IIS as web server

 Hi folks,

Today we are going to see, how we can run or deploy the Go (Golang) project in IIS.

Development

1. Create your Golang project with web APIs
2. Build the Go project
3. Go build
4. Result will be an .exe file
5. Create a web.config file
6. Update the following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

    <system.webServer>

        <handlers>

            <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />

        </handlers>

        <aspNetCore processPath=".\<<GoProject>>.exe" />

    </system.webServer>

</configuration>

Deployment 

1. Place the <<GoProject.exe>> and web.config in IIS server accessible folder.
2. Open IIS
3. Create a new website
4. Enter the web app details with port different from the project internal port
5. Create or choose pool with .NET CLR version as "No managed code"
6. The configured website looks like below
7. 
8. After starting the website, user should be able to access the APIs

Hope, this information helps you to deploy the GOlang project in IIS.

PhoneGap Installation and running Sample Application on iOS

Pre-requisites

Softwares

•     iOS SDK

•     Xcode command line tools

•     Node.js

•     Cordova (Zip)

Setup Environment Variables

•     NODEJS_HOME

•     CORDOVA_IOS

PATH Environment Variable Update

1) Open a terminal prompt

2) Type sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf (note: this file might not yet exist)

3) Put contents like the following into the file

# Set environment variables here so they are available globally to all apps

# (and Terminal), including those launched via Spotlight.

#

# After editing this file run the following command from the terminal to update

# environment variables globally without needing to reboot.

# NOTE: You will still need to restart the relevant application (including

# Terminal) to pick up the changes!

# grep -E "^setenv" /etc/launchd.conf | xargs -t -L 1 launchctl

#

# See http://www.digitaledgesw.com/node/31

# and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x/

#

# Note that you must hardcode the paths below, don't use enviroment variables.

# You also need to surround multiple values in quotes, see MAVEN_OPTS example below.

#

# Nodejs Installed path. By default the path is your home directory->.npm directory path

setenv NODEJS_HOME $HOME/.npm

# Choose the location where you have unzipped the cordova iOS folder

setenv CORDOVA_IOS /cordova-ios

PATH Environment Variable Update

create .bash_profile file in your home folder

Enter the following content

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=$PATH:$NODEJS_HOME:$CORDOVA_IOS/bin

Install phonegap

If you are behind a proxy please set the proxy to npm (Node.js) command

Syntax:-

(For HTTP) $ npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:port

(For HTTPS) $ npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:port

Run the install command

$ sudo npm install -g phonegap

$ sudo npm install -g cordova

Note: If you face any errors

• Remove the .npm directory from the home folder
• Upgrade npm (sudo npm install -g npm)
• Clear the global npm cache (sudo npm cache clear)
• Clear the user npm cache (npm cache clear)

Create Project

Syntax: phonegap create

$ phonegap create hello com.example.hello "HelloWorld"

By default the skeleton folder structure will be created.

Note: if you didn’t get the default skeleton (www, js, css folders and other files), please copy from the sample-hello-world project of phonegap to your www project folder

$ cd hello

$ cordova platform add ios

$ phonegap build ios

Adding Plugins to your project

Pre-requisites

            •           Install Git

Tip: If you are behind a proxy then please add it your configuration

Syntax: git config —global http.proxy http://proxyusername:proxypassword@server.company:port

Ex: git config —global http.proxy http://abc:123@xyz.com:8081

            •           Add git\bin to your PATH environment variable

            •           You need to download the git files from https://git-wip-us.apache.org. So make sure that the above specified URL is not blocked by your firewall

            •           Navigate to your project directory in command prompt by changing the directory

cd

Note:

If you have some issues download cordova zip (unzip cordova-ios zip) and copy it to your home directory-> ~/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/3.2.0/

Install Plugin

Syntax: phonegap local plugin add

Ex:- phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

Tip: If this doesn’t run then try with cordova

Syntax: cordova plugin add

Ex:- cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

Add the Feature to config.xml (Ex: Accelerometer)

    name="Accelerometer">

        name="ios-package" value="CDVAccelerometer" />

   

Remove Plugin

Syntax: phonegap local plugin remove

Ex:- phonegap local plugin remove https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

Tip: If this doesn’t run then try with cordova

Syntax: cordova plugin remove

Ex:- cordova plugin remove https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

Alternative

You can install “plugman” to plug and play with plugins by following this link
