端口80上的Apache和Node

Question

**I have seen a similiar question here, with no proper answer

I want both Apache and Node.js to run on port 80, so that it won't be necessary to type port number at the address bar. But my Node.js app won't work when I listen on port 80 instead of 3000, I guess that's because Apache is already on 80.

Or, the solution requires to actually use other port than 80 and somehow hide it?

Answer 1

In TCP, you can only run 1 service per port . As soon the port is assigned to a service, it becomes unavailable to anybody else.

However there is a way to share port betwen NODE and APACHE, proxying the connections using an Apache 2 Module (mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http) . You can get more details here: how to put nodejs and apache in the same port 80

Apache configuration example to use Apache in requests to http://example.com/ and 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>
