AWS CodeDeploy Powershell Script fail to create website & Pool in IIS server

Question

I have an app that I am deploying using AWS Codedeploy to an EC2 instance running Windows Server 2012 R2 with code deploy agent installed.

The code revision was successfully downloaded from S3 bucket to EC2 instance but PowerShell script throws error.

Just to inform, when executing the script in EC2 instance manually it is running successfully.

Here are the my appspec.yml & before-install.bat

• appspec.yml

  version: 0.0 os: windows files: - source: \\index.html destination: C:\\DemoApp\\MySite hooks: BeforeInstall: - location: \\before-install.bat timeout: 900

• before-install.bat

Answer 1

Try this script:

if ($PSHOME -like "*SysWOW64*")
{
  Write-Warning "Restarting this script under 64-bit Windows PowerShell."

  & (Join-Path ($PSHOME -replace "SysWOW64", "SysNative") powershell.exe) -File `
    (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot $MyInvocation.MyCommand) @args

  Exit $LastExitCode
}

Import-Module WebAdministration; 
New-Item IIS:\AppPools\MyPool;
New-Item iis:\Sites\MySite -bindings @{protocol='http';bindingInformation=':80:'} -physicalPath c:\DemoApp\MySite;
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\Sites\MySite -name applicationPool -value MyPool
