how to put nodejs and apache in the same port 80
I do this via node.js proxy..
Install http-proxy
with npm
or official page
Example:
var http = require('http'),
httpProxy = require('http-proxy'),
proxyServer = httpProxy.createServer ({
hostnameOnly: true,
router: {
'domain.com': '127.0.0.1:81',
'domain.co.uk': '127.0.0.1:82',
'127.0.0.1': '127.0.0.1:83'
}
});
proxyServer.listen(80);
This creates a node process listening to port 80, and forwarding requests for domains which go to :81,82,83 etc. I recommend running this with forever
and adding an entry to init.d
so your proxy is up in case system shuts down.
You can also use Apache 2's mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http, which might be more reliable or perform better depending on your system.
Here's an example:
Firstly run below command to proxy to allow
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
sudo a2enmod lbmethod_byrequests
# Use Apache for requests to http://example.com/
# but use Node.js for requests to http://example.com/node/
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/
<Location /node>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8124/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8124/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
And of course you can modify the directives to your needs, such as using a different port for your virtual host (e.g., 443), different port for Node.js, or set up the proxy under a different block, such as for a subdomain (e.g., node.example.com).
