copied!<p>Nginx works as a front end server, which in this case proxies the requests to a node.js server. Therefore you need to setup an nginx config file for node.</p> <p>This is what I have done in my Ubuntu box:</p> <p>Create the file <code>yourdomain.com</code> at <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/</code>:</p> <pre><code>vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com </code></pre> <p>In it you should have something like: </p> <pre><code># the IP(s) on which your node server is running. I chose port 3000. upstream app_yourdomain { server 127.0.0.1:3000; keepalive 8; } # the nginx server instance server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/yourdomain.com.log; # pass the request to the node.js server with the correct headers # and much more can be added, see nginx config options location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass http://app_yourdomain/; proxy_redirect off; } } </code></pre> <p>If you want nginx (>= 1.3.13) to handle websocket requests as well, add the following lines in the <code>location /</code> section:</p> <pre><code>proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; </code></pre> <p>Once you have this setup you must enable the site defined in the config file above:</p> <pre><code>cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com yourdomain.com </code></pre> <p>Create your node server app at <code>/var/www/yourdomain/app.js</code> and run it at <code>localhost:3000</code></p> <pre><code>var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(3000, "127.0.0.1"); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/'); </code></pre> <p>Test for syntax mistakes:</p> <pre><code>nginx -t </code></pre> <p>Restart nginx:</p> <pre><code>sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart </code></pre> <p>Lastly start the node server:</p> <pre><code>cd /var/www/yourdomain/ && node app.js </code></pre> <p>Now you should see "Hello World" at yourdomain.com</p> <p>One last note with regards to starting the node server: you should use some kind of monitoring system for the node daemon. There is an awesome <a href="http://howtonode.org/deploying-node-upstart-monit" rel="noreferrer">tutorial on node with upstart and monit</a>.</p>
