Serving Calibre From IIS

What would I need to do to be able to serve Calibre from IIS instead of using the built in Calibre Web server? Can it be done?

Thanks for the reply but none of what I read makes any sense to me. I have never really used Apache. I have worked a lot with Linux but never Apache. I don't see how what is described there can apply to IIS. Help.

I am sorry for my ignorance.

You have to figure out how to setup a reverse proxy with IIS. Never having used IIS, I can't help you with that.

If you can't deal with setting up a reverse proxy in IIS, you can try using the alternate PHP content server described in this thread. However, if you don't have PHP running in your IIS installation, then getting the alternate server running could easily be more complicated than setting up the reverse proxy.
