What is the best approach to running Node.js along with Apache?

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm replacing PHP with Node.js and am curious what the prescribed (or best practice) solution is for doing the webserving. I'm reluctant to have Node.js act as my primary webserver and would like to keep Apache around to server files, and just have Node.js do all the business logic and communication with the the DB. How does one set up such a relationship? I'm unable to find examples of this that don't have Node.js as a proxy that just redirects everything to Apache (which may indeed be the best way to do this... I don't know... that's the crux of my question). TIA (HowTos)

I'm currently writing a web app in Node.js and will soon be setting up my Linux server to make it live. I'm curious, is it worth running Nginx for my Node app's static files? Is it running Nginx to reverse proxy to any other Node apps that maybe running on my server, or should I just use something like node-http-proxy and not use Nginx at all? My Node app will be using socket.io.

I installed NIS server on head node of a cluster. One of the node (let's say node-1) can find NIS server and work with it, but another node (node-2) just can't find the NIS server in Yast while it can ping and ssh to both head node and node-1.

Node will not delete on Linux Mint 13.

see the video here http://youtu.be/tV8HhS1xw2g and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8DNvv3iFdI

I installed via git but node failed to run see https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/73 for the tests I ran to try to get node to play nice.

so I uninstalled the git version and installed the Ubuntu v.

I've two applications to deploy/run using chef on a single node under the same domain/subdomain. One is a Rails app and another is a Wordpress app.

The Rails app will reside as the main app at say example.com and the wordpress at blog.example.com.

There is cluster of Five Node A1(Apache + mod_clusrer) for load balancing and N1 ,N2 ,N3 and N4 are Jboss As 7 .

Here N1 is master Node.

I'm currently looking into Apache Traffic Server as a tool for providing better availability of web services.

But looking at the manual I can't see any reference to how I can pro-actively fence a node in the cluster.

I am running several instance of Node and all of them run on different ports.

I need a way to be able to kill a particular instance of Node based on the port it is running (kill node instance binded to port n).

From my terminal I can easily do a "fuser -k xxxx/tcp" xxxx being the port.

The thing is, that is because I have the authorisation to do so.

is there an option to set a node on hold (set it on noop), on the puppetmaster side? i am looking for a setting like in the example below. every node which has a variable called noop set to true in it's definition, won't be updated.

so example1.node.com will not have the test1 file after multiple puppet client runs but example2.node.com will have the file.

is there such an option?

Hi everyone I'm currently trying to install munin to monitor my server loads etc but i'm having a few difficulties getting it running
