Following a Pluralsight tutorial I built 3 Asp.Net Core projects within a Solution and all 3 of them run on different ports through which they also communicate with each other:
Project1/localhost:28851,
Project2/localhost:59418 and
Project3/localhost:33918
How does the port thing really work on production? Does this mean I will have to buy subdomains for each port or they can all run within a single domain.
I would like to know how it works in details, if possible.
Thank you

I have developed a simple ASP.Net Core Razor pages app that runs OK, deployed standalone, on an iMX6ULL development board running an Apache reverse proxy server. However, when I deploy the exact same app onto a different development board (same processor just made by a different company), the app appears to run OK but static content inside the 'wwwroot' folder is not found.
I have checked the web and content root paths when the app is running and they match where the publish folder is copied in both device file systems. As the source code for the app is unchanged, I am sure it must be something in the difference between the Apache and/or OS setup between the two devices but for the life of me, I cannot find/think what that is!! Does anyone have any ideas? I am pulling my hair out :(
If it helps, httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf are the same on both devices, with Apache listening on 80 and forwarding to 5000 where the ASP.Net Core app tells me it's listening. Is it possible that there is a conflict on this port? I have tried 5050 but with the same result...
I know that IIS server is basically used to run sites based on microsoft technologies like .net and Apache is used to run sites based on open source technologies like PHP. But other than all this whats the technical and detailed difference between the two. Why is Apache used more and requires less configuration and hardware to run the sites as compared to IIS. The pre-requisites for IIS are high whereas for Apache they are nominal. Which one is better?
Description
I am curious about how a DNX load balanced setup will work. I am accustomed to working with an ARR (Application Request Routing)/Server Farm setup with IIS like this. Typically there is nothing done on the code side with the ARR/Server Farm setup. However, with the cross platform support that DNX provides, while getting rid of IIS, this sort of load balanced setup seems like it will now need to be handled in the code. Or at least in my case I would be responsible for code deploys as opposed to a Network Admin that would install updates. The closest that I could find is session management. Can you do load balancing with this, potentially, I just do not see it there yet.
Functional Impact
Decide to download a third party ARR, use MS ARR, or Role your own ARR?
What I need
I would like to keep this from "I like this best" responses as much as possible and see responses that are "Here is why you need this" or "Here is why I found this to work well". I know that dnx is a new environment, but the experience of setting up LB servers in OSX and Linux is not. With the move to cross platform, I do not expect that the MS ARR will work on OSX or Linux. I am not very familiar with those OS's so I do not know where to begin.
Question(s)
1) Is the https://github.com/aspnet/Session/ project (or another project) expected to contain an ARR?
If no on 1
2) Is there an ARR that is cross platform (Windows, OSX, Linux)?
There's no out-of-the-box load balancer for ASP.NET 5.
Your solution is the right one, add a load balancer in front of DNX. On Windows you can use IIS, on cross plat you can use something like ngnix
No changes and no support for in-app.
ASP.NET 5 is not where this should be going. IIS will still exist and the ARR module is a part of IIS itself. Not the app.
On the page itself it says:
Works With: IIS 7, IIS 7.5, IIS 8, IIS 8.5, IIS 10
As for supporting different kind of servers? I don't see why not since the ARR module is basically just a reverse-proxy.
Nothing need to change. You can even compile to CoreCLR and have it hosted on a farm of Linux machines with Apache but have an IIS server with the ARR Module set in Reverse-Proxy to forward load balance the requests.
I am looking to develop some web app for my Android device. Found Sencha and think it might be a good tool to try out.
I suppose I would need to find a web server to host the Sencha app to run the app? What kind of web server is needed? I suppose one that able to run HTML5, CSS, Javascript is enough?
Can anybody recommend one (free one)?
Thanks.

Thanks for the answers to the above post. I am new to this stuff, so got some more follow-up and somewhat related questions:
1) I read from the Sencha site that the app can be developed locally using things like XAMPP installed on local Windows PC. Question -- Why need this local host when I can just use an external Web Host?
2) It was also mentioned that for Windows may not need XAMPP if Window's Internet Information Server (IIS) is already running. How do I know if my computer is running this and so don't need to install another local server? (I asking this because I had installed an XAMPP before on another computer and things got quite messed up and so I want to avoid doing it if possible).
3) Once I got a web host, to have an app running, I would just have to have the JS files in the web host together with the Sencha framework right? If so, then I don't understand what is meant by "Build" in the Sencha documentation.
Thanks.
Sencha Touch is a client side framework, therefore there are no server side requirements. That said, any web host should do.
However, I'll go ahead an make a recommendation... a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, PHP, MySql) will work the best. Of course you can substitute any of the stack for something of your favor, this setup seems to be the most favorable. Some of my colleagues utilize Ruby/RoR instead of PHP, so as you can see it is quite flexible in terms of environment.
When searching for a hosting provider, do your research and select something that fits with your budget but still gives you the best bang for your buck. Be sure to ask them questions!
Tip: Make sure you have access to your web server's configuration file so you can add mime_types and make other mobile oriented tweaks if needed.
First you must know that HTML5, CSS and Javascript are all front end stuff that do not count when you talk about Hosting. These are taken care of by the client agent (browser).
What really matters is your server side language: PHP, Python(Django), Ruby, etc.
So it mainly doesn't matter which framework, as much as which language that framework use.
This is a generic answer that will help you decide not only in terms of Sencha but for any other framework.
Take for instance WordPress. It uses PHP and MySQL, so first I look if my Web host supports Mysql and PHP and in general this would be enough to know that I can use if for my WordPress site.
And by the way, most Web host companies allow you to ask them questions before buying. So go ahead and question them about anything that concerns your requests.
Sencha provides an app hosting service through its Sencha.io cloud services.
I have the following scenario:
We develop a silverlight 4 app for our customers, that will be used as an out-of-browser app. The app is working offline, i.e. app and database are on the users local machine. The app is using WCF-RIA-services to connect to the local database. The database will be an SQL Server Express, SQL Server CE or MySQL. We are using MVVMLight and MEF.
An external webserver is only used for updating the app from time to time or adding new modules to the app. To achieve this we do something similar as shown in Jeremy Likness blog (http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jlikness/archive/2010/05/25/silverlight-out-of-browser-dynamic-modules-in-offline-mode.aspx )
The reasons why we are doing such a scenario are complex. But to keep a long story short it is mainly for compatibility reasons for a later online version and we don't want to use WPF. So we need to get this working with Silverlight and WCF-RIA services.
Ok, that's the scenario and here's the question:
Do we need a local webserver in this scenario? The app is programmatically installed as out-of-browser, the database is local and connected via WCF-RIA.
If yes, which webserver would be sufficient? It should be installed and configured via an initial setup that is executed by the customer. The customer should not have to do anything with configuring the webserver.
Any other ideas or comments on this scenario? Any other possible solutions for this?
Thanks for your help

silverlight wasn't meant to be used this way I think. So it would be like when you are developing app in visual studio and use Cassini to see result - everything runs locally - but you still need a web server. Maybe more info here - http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/06/WPF-vs-Silverlight
I´m not able to provide with a full answer to your problem, as we are currently facing the same problem. (WPF not being cross-platform, Very specific hardware on some clients)
But I may share some of our thoughts on our type of Thick-Silverlight-Client:
To keep deployment etc. simple we use a self-hosting process (installed as background process)
We may not use RIA as the background process has to run using Mono VM (but for MS-only solution see Can WCF RIA Services be self hosted? )
Architectural thoughts on standalone "Clients":
Depending on your requirements implementing a server for each client communicating with the "main"-server by messages (NServiceBus) may be overkill. But if you want to use a client database if offline and silverlight for ui you should consider using an event-driven-architecture.
There is a slideshow on combining "Event-Driven-Architecture" & "CQRS" with Silverlight. But i would not use it as a blueprint more like an inspiration.
