node.js - IIS Reverse Proxy with ARR & URL Rewrite Only Works for Root Route (), Other Routes Fail - Stack Overflow

I am using IIS as a reverse proxy to forward requests to my Node.js API running on localhost (port 3000). However, only the root route (ppas_app/) works, and any other endpoint like ppas_app/api/test or ppas_app/api/users returns 404 Not Found.

•   IIS as Reverse Proxy
•   Node.js API running on port 3000
•   ARR (Application Request Routing) and URL Rewrite enabled
•   IIS is configured to forward all requests to http://localhost:3000

Issue Details:

1. Accessing ✅ Works as expected
2. Accessing ❌ Returns 404

Not Found 3. Accessing http://localhost:3000/api/test ✅ Works directly on Node.js 4. No errors in IIS logs, but the API routes don’t seem to be forwarded properly.

**my web.config : **

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <configuration>
    <system.webServer>

Node.js Api sample test:

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
    
app.get('/', function(req, res){
    return res.status(200).send('First');
})
    
app.get('/api/test', function(req, res){
    return res.status(200).send('First Server');
})
    
app.get('/nodetest/api/test', function(req, res){
    return res.status(200).send('as an IIS application');
})
    
app.listen(port, () =>{
    console.log(`Server is listening to ${port}.....`);

You could try to add the base path in your node js. as your node js path is design to handle the request with the /api/test or /api/users but right now your requesting with the ppas_app/api/users which node js does not understnd.

or else you can set iis url rewrite rule to only fowrad the request of the sub application to the node js app something like below:

Insted of:

<match url="(.*)" />

use:

<match url="^ppas_app/(.*)" />
