I'm trying to deploy a VUE frontend application on IIS.
The routing is working fine in dev mode, however, something seems to break in the routing when I host my VUE app on IIS.
Can someone advise how to configure IIS to handle the routing of a VUE frontend app (I'm using vue-router)?

Below are the steps for deploying vue application on iis server with the proper routing configuration :
Setup IIS
- Download & Install:
.NET Core Hosting Bundle
Microsoft URL Rewrite - Restart the IIS service.
- Right click the Sites folder and select "Add website"
→ enter site name (e.g. myWebsite)
→ create a folder (where your website files will be) and enter the folder's path as the website physical path.
Generate the VUE app files
- Go to project folder & run command:
npm run build
- Take the files in the generated 'dist' folder and paste them into your website's physical path.
- Add the "web.config" file (below) into the website physical path.
web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Handle History Mode and custom 404/500" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
