How to Run Http server with custom domain, all simulation run on custom domain

[brettfiedler]

Hi @srikanthofficebasics,

Could you provide a little more detail about what you are trying to do? What have you tried so far?

I assume you are referring to the server that is run locally for development purposes (using the http-server node package, though you could use other methods to locally host). Or are you referring to deploying your project?

hi @brettfiedler

i have followed the steps as below url on windows server 2019.
https://github.com/phetsims/phet-info/blob/main/doc/phet-development-overview.md

run below query

http-server -S -C C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.crt -K C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.key -c-1 -a sims.test.in -p 3451
but not able to access
https://sims.test.in:3451/area-model-algebra/area-model-algebra_en.html i have taken certificates from cloudflare

inside vm i am able access it. but out side of vm not bale access it.
i have added A name with ip address in cloudflare

if i run below command i am getting error
http-server -S -C C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.crt -K C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.key -c-1 -a sims.test.in -p 443
node:events:497
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

}

Node.js v20.17.0

when i run below command working fine with IP address. but i am get certificate error.
http-server -S -C C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.crt -K C:\Certs\sim\cloud\sims.key -c-1 -p 3451

with ip address , how to resolve the certificate error

other wise let me know the steps for IIS Deployment of sims

@samreid @zepumph @SaurabhTotey @liammulh Can you please help on this issue.

Hi @srikanthofficebasics,

I pinged some devs on this to get feedback. It sounds like the issue itself is outside the scope of SceneryStack (the PhET development libraries) and may be an issue with the server you're using. You might need to seek help in channels dedicated specifically to the server (Cloudflare?).

That being said, they came up with a few things to try:

• Verify if setup works for basic webpages, as a starting point.
• Check if any other service is using port 443. You can use tools or commands to find out which process is listening on that port.
• If another service is using port 443, clean it up, or try shutting down IIS SSL services that may be running by default.
• If needed, ensure you have sudo/admin privileges to attach to port 443.
• Consider using a higher port (above 1024) to avoid admin restrictions or port conflicts.
• Use Chrome settings to allow insecure certificates from localhost, which could bypass the need for a specific port.
• For self-signed certificates, you can ignore the browser certificate errors during development. If it’s a production app, ensure you use trusted certificates from an authority like Sectigo or Comodo.
• Clarify the use case for your current setup, especially if it involves hosting locally built versions of specific applications, as the policy on this might affect how to proceed.

Hope that helps!

@srikanthofficebasics - The PhET simulations project has a Partnerships Program, for organizations interested in using PhET simulations within their products. From this thread, it sounds like this may describe your situation. If your company is looking to use the PhET simulations in a product, please contact us at phet-partnerships@colorado.edu, and we are happy to connect to describe our Partnership Programs and how we work with companies to make it easy to integrate PhET simulations and keep the simulations up-to-date within the product.
We describe our Partnership Program here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/partnerships
You can request a meeting on that page, or email us at phet-partnerships@colorado.edu.
