  1. POHow to run node.js app on port 80 using http-proxy?
    text
    copied!<p>I want to run my node.js app on port 80 on Apache server. I have tried 2 methods one via Apache:</p> <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerName domainName.com ServerAlias www.domainName.com ProxyRequests off &lt;Proxy *&gt; Order deny,allow Allow from all &lt;/Proxy&gt; &lt;Location /&gt; ProxyPass http://domainName:8080 ProxyPassReverse http://domainName:8080 &lt;/Location&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I use this I get <code>502 proxy error</code> in Chrome console. The server cannot find my <code>CSS</code> and <code>Socket.io</code> and other <code>JS</code> files. </p> <p><strong>UPDATE: I solved this error for CSS and normal .js files by putting <code>http://domainName.com:8080/</code> in front of the links. But the problem still exist for socket.io! Socket.io cannot be found!</strong></p> <p>And the second method is using <code>http-proxy</code> module (this is the example I found, please see the comment below this post):</p> <pre><code>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); </code></pre> <p>Which was explained here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11172351/how-to-put-nodejs-and-apache-in-the-same-port-80">how to put nodejs and apache in the same port 80</a></p> <p>I don't know how to get this one working for my code, since I'm using <code>Express</code>.</p> <p>This is my relevant part of code:</p> <pre><code>var express = require('express'); var http = require('http'); var io = require('socket.io'); var connect = require('connect'); var sanitize = require('validator').sanitize; var app = express(); var MemoryStore = express.session.MemoryStore; var server = http.createServer(app); var sessionStore = new MemoryStore(); var io = io.listen(server); app.configure(function() { //app.use(express.logger()); app.use(express.cookieParser()); app.use(express.bodyParser()); app.use(express.methodOverride()); app.use(express.session({ store: sessionStore, secret: 'someSecret', key: 'cookie.sid', maxAge: null })); }); app.use(app.router); app.use("/styles", express.static(__dirname + '/styles')); app.use("/images", express.static(__dirname + '/styles/images')); app.use("/js", express.static(__dirname + '/js')); // routing app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html'); }); server.listen(8080); </code></pre> <p><strong>I prefer the second method, so if someone could help me get it to work I'd really appreciate it.</strong> </p>
