IIS and ASP​.NET

The Recipe Manager Plus web application requires IIS installed and ASP.NET configured. The Windows versions supported by Recipe Manager Plus include IIS, but IIS is not enabled in the default installation. If IIS is not enabled, it is enabled as part of the Recipe Manager Plus installation and configured automatically.

NOTE: Microsoft's IIS URL Rewrite module gets installed as a prerequisite by Recipe Manager Plus install. If it is removed from the computer, the Recipe Manager Plus web application will not run and give an error about missing module in web.config. You can reinstall the IIS URL Rewrite Module from the installation media (CD-RecipeMngrPlus\InstallFiles\Redist\IISURLRewrite2) by selecting the appropriate version based on the computer architecture (x86 or x64).

Should you have to manually configure IIS and ASP.NET, you must select the following subcomponents for Internet Information Services (IIS), depending on the version of Windows you are using.
