如何在装有Apache服务器的Windows上运行node.js？

Question

I'm a node.js begginer . Let's say I have an apache server(XAAMP) and node.js installed in C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\nodejs.exe on windows 7.

How can I run node.js in my apache server to simulate my code?

I mean, I know how to write node.js code but what I don't know how it's work on my server?

Answer 1

Apache server don't need for Node.js.

For create your own Node.js server:

1. Download and install Node.js

2. Create file hello.js :

    var http = require("http"); var server = http.createServer().listen(3000); // beter way for create server.on("request", function(req, res){ res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}); // for view at page http://localhost:3000 res.write("Hello world"); res.end(); }); server.on("listening", function(){ // for view in console console.log("Listen: 3000..."); }); 

3. In terminal go to dir where file hello.js and type:

    node hello.js 

4. Open your browser and point it at http://localhost:3000/ . This should display a web page that says:

    Hello world

If you like to work with a replacement for XAAMP you should finally take a look at MEAN.io .

At NpmJS.org you will find different solutions for most of your needs.

and like Reagan Gallant commented you should take a look at this famous stackoverflow post (if you need ideas).

NodeSchool indeed is a good entry point for your fist steps. After that npmjs will make sense and finally you will love Mean.io

You just make it use a different port than Apache is using (for example port 3000 which is the default for express-js and others) -- that is assuming that you don't need the two to work together.

If you do need them to work together, you add a forwarding module to Apache and configure the forwarding in Apache of certain URL to go to your local port for node-js
