Hosting HTML/CSS site on Visual Studio hosting service - javascript

I developed small Restful Web Service in VS2012 which should manipulate with database through entity framework.
Client side is HTML/CSS/JavaScript web site which shows data from database.
Is there any way to communicate by Ajax (to overcome cross domain issue) from my site to Restful Web Service without installing IIS, because I have really bad and slow computer and I need this only for quick test.
Can I host my web site somehow on service which Visual Studio uses to publish Services run by Visual Studio, or there is some other way how to test it quickly ?

If you're willing to use iisexpress Do this
Publish your website to any folder in your PC.
Then open a cmd window and run the following commands
cd "C:\Program Files\IIS Express"
on 64-bit OS,
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express"
Now the path would change to IIS Express>
Then run the following command
iisexpress /path:your\website\path\ /port:8030
This will start your website over the port 8030
IIS express will run as long as you don't close this cmd window. You can see iisexpress icon in the notification area also.
Easier way is to install IIS in your PC and host it with much better options.

Move my MERN app (developped on windows) on a ubuntu machine and access it via LAN network

It's my first time here so please bear with me :)
Basically i developped a full stack MERN web application on my windows 10 machine (node js, express js and Mongodb in the backend + database and react js for the frontend), to run each one of them for now i use vscode (nodemon server for the backend and npm start for the front) all are running on my localhost on different ports.
what i need to do is to move that MERN app to an ubuntu machine and make it accessible via LAN network of that ubuntu continuously.
i guess i need to use git to move the app from windows to ubuntu? (correct me if i'm wrong) but how to make it run correctly there? and should i install a specific server to run it all on the LAN?
Thank you for the help in advance !

How to start big nodejs project virtual classroom?

Websocket server on a UWP app

I'm trying to implement a WebSocket server on my UWP app. Something similar to this plugin for Android and iOS, or Chrome socket server. I've looked into the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app samples for WebSockets, but the way I understand it, it can be used as a Client side, while the Server is run separately using a PowerShell script.
My app is built with HTML and Javascript (AngularJS), compiled with Cordova framework and I wanted a WebSocket Server to run on it so that outside clients would be able to send commands to the app.
Is there any such way (or similar to it) to do this (to receive commands via TCP, etc)?

How to i put Node.js on my hosting website

I'm a little confused on how node.js works on web hosting servers.
Now i understand how it works when i download node.js on my computer, i run files and stuff and the node.js files are on my computer.
What i dont understand is how i run node.js on my web hosting server.
If node.js is a downloadable file, how do i get it to run on my server...
Do i just find the file on my computer that says node.js(or whatever its called) and upload that to my server?
Any clarification on how to run node.js on my server will help.
Thanks!
A server is just another computer somewhere running OS like Linux, Windows and others but at large scale. Now Node.js is automatically configured if your web hosting server is a shared server or free plan server like Heroku, an awesome web hosting company with great hosting plan.
You only get to install Node.js on a web hosting server if its a dedicated server like an Ubuntu Machine on Amazon or Digital Ocean. I don't think you should bother yourself much. If you want to move your Node.js app from localhost to a web server I encourage you to read heroku documentation or this scotch.io link. It is extremely simple.

running apache and rails on an ubuntu droplet

at first i installed apache, and i built up some sites.
Then later I tried to install rails according to this tutorial, since it's made by my hosting company.
I originally wanted to install rails in a sub-directory, so that most of the pages would be served up by apache and I could just build up some special apps with rails.
At this point I've corrupted the apache pages which heretofore were working just fine.
Should I just uninstall everything and start over?
But, what is the issue, is this how rails is supposed to work? Is it hard to make it compatible with apache? Can a server run only rails, would that be easier to manage?
I also had some javascript templates running off that apache server in the beginning.
Are there some particular log files I can investigate to discern what's at fault? Where are they located?
I can't help by providing a decent tutorial on rails + apache but I can help on nginx + rails + zero downtime.
Typically the webserver apache, nginx serves as a proxy webserver. They send the request from the user through a unix domain socket to the rails application running as a separate process.
I've written a detailed tutorial on setting up a deployment server from scratch.
Setup a vps
Securing vps + nginx
Deploying the rails application
Hope it helps !
