Dynmap With IIS Using URL Rewrite and applicationrequestrouting thanks to kekec852 - webbukkit/dynmap GitHub Wiki

This page assumes:

• You have basic undersending of configurationg and managing IIS server
• The root directory of your webserver is found at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.
• You have IIS and CraftBukkit running on the same machine.
• You have download and installed URL Rewrite and ApplicationRequestRouting(http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing, http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite)

Start:

• To start, create the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap.
• Copy the contents of the web directory found in the repository to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap.

There are two choices:

• Create folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tiles\ and edit configuration.txt and make sure you have the property tilespath set to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tiles\:

# The path where the tile-files are placed.
tilespath: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tiles

OR

• Create virtual folder inside iis by right clicking on dynmap folder Add Virtual Directory nameed tiles (alias) and Physical path that points to dynmap plugin folder/web/tiles

Now the rewrite part:

• Select dynmap folder in IIS and click URL Rewrite icon, then Add rule(s); select Reverse proxy. In inbound rule enter 127.0.0.1:8123 and click ok. When asked if enable reverse proxy select Yes.
• Browse to your dynmap web folder (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\) and open web.config with notepad and adjust content to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="up/(.*)" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://127.0.0.1:8123/up/{R:1}" />
                </rule>
				<rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule2" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="standalone/(.*)" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://127.0.0.1:8123/standalone/{R:1}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Also, some version of IIS (7.x in any case) will not automatically assign the proper MIME type for the *.json files that can be needed by dynmap (resulting in a 406 or 404 error when attempting to load these files, such as those used by the Markers API). To address this, follow the procedure here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942050 - to define the MIME type 'application/json' to the 'json' file extension.
