IIS on Windows Virtual Machine

Server
1

Hi,

I have a web site that I want to run in a Windows Virtual Machine via IIS and apply an SSL certificate to it but I could not find clear information on how to do it. Is there any documentation or tutorial on how to do it in a windows VM? I saw some information but to run on linux or apache.

Thank you.

Hi @fkorr

it isn't relevant if this is a windows VM or a normal Windows. So select a client

and begin.

Windows doesn’t care if it is a VM - it is still Windows.
I would recommend that you use IIS8 or higher.

Thank you for the comments. I am now using “Certify The Web” GUI and I am getting an error while challenge validation:

Invalid response from http://www.sqlspread.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/4IuLqD_jFHhriu0ictMY0hmijP_gtYxfI3r4DvN4pko: "\n<html xmlns=“http:”

Sorry about the noob questions, I never worked with this before and I am willing to learn.

Thank you very much.

where is your window? There are Apache- and nginx - server. Checking this file, Letsencrypt want's to validate this.

D:\temp>download Use SQL Spreads Excel add-in to update data in SQL Server -h

Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Status: 301 MovedPermanently

213,59 milliseconds
0,21 seconds

Moved to the root of another domain, which isn't the required content. And there is an Apache.

Then:

[edit: One part duplicated - removed]

There is an nginx, moving to non-www.

D:\temp>download http://sqlspreads.com/ -h
Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=20
X-Pingback: http://sqlspreads.com/xmlrpc.php

X-Pass-Why:

Location: https://sqlspreads.com/
Server: nginx

Status: 301 MovedPermanently

302,74 milliseconds
0,30 seconds

Then the next nginx, with WPE-Backend: apache, moving to https

D:\temp>download https://sqlspreads.com/ -h
SSL-Zertifikat is valide
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=20

X-Cacheable: SHORT

X-Cache: HIT: 3
X-Pass-Why:
X-Cache-Group: normal
X-Type: default
Cache-Control: max-age=600, must-revalidate
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 09:40:48 GMT
Server: nginx

Status: 200 OK

734,27 milliseconds
0,73 seconds

Then there is the final http status 200. Your first server should send the content Letsencrypt want's to validate. Instead 3 redirects.
