Host Sinatra app in IIS with HttpPlatformHandler

Question

I have read every thread/blog I can find regarding the httpplatformhandler product but I am still unsure if I am able to host a Sinatra (NON ruby on rails) app in IIS using the HttpPlatformHandler. Is this possible? I see examples for rails, but I am not sure how to alter to allow plain Ruby/Sinatra. I am unsure if I need puma or some other "middle man" to do this. If this is possible, would someone kindly provide an example of a web.config that would work for the default Sinatra app:

require 'sinatra'

get '/hi' do "Hello World!" end

Answer 1

This works for my rails application - sinatra should not be any diffrerent. Just change the path to your ruby binaries... EnvironmentVariables for HOME/HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH are necessery on a windows server environment using Active Directory users. You can ignore this on a single local machine.
