I have tried to deploy my NodeJs application to IISnode for a few days but i still unable to make it work. I believe i have all the components installed (URL Rewrite Module and IISNode) and just the configuration is wrong. I'm using ejs as a view engine and the browser is throwing an error saying:
ReferenceError: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Monito\views\layout.ejs:4

FYI, I have installed NodeJs for Visual Studio extension for my development and I can run it location by clicking the "Run" button within VS. Can anyone kind enough to help? Thanks in advance.
