| - | ====== Setting Up Node.js ====== | ||
| - | Node.js is a platform that generally runs as a separate web server. LiteSpeed Web Server can be configured to proxy traffic to Node.js so that users can run Node.js applications (like Ghost) on their sites. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following wiki guides you through the steps to set up Node.js with LiteSpeed Web Server. The wiki assumes that you have a functional LSWS installation running off of Apache configurations (though the steps can be easily adapted to using LSWS native configuration files). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Install Node.js ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | - wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | ||
| - | - tar xvzf node-latest.tar.gz | ||
| - | - cd node-vX.X.X | ||
| - | ./configure --prefix=~ | ||
| - | make | ||
| - | make install | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Proxy Node.js Traffic ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now that Node.js is installed on your server, you will need to tell LSWS to send the proper traffic to Node.js. Starting with LSWS 4.2.13, this can be done with a just a rewrite rule (if Node.js is installed on the same server as LSWS). Simply add a rewrite rule that will redirect traffic to the port Node.js is listening on. The following is an example: | ||
| - | |||
| - | RewriteEngine On | ||
| - | RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f | ||
| - | RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d | ||
| - | RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ghost.domain.com:XXXXX/ghost/$1 [P,L] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The above example redirects all traffic (after checking that it is a directory or file) to a Ghost subdomain using port XXXXX. Port XXXXX should be the port Node.js is running on. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== If Using LSWS Below 4.2.13 or Proxying to an External Server ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order for LSWS to proxy traffic to another web server, LSWS needs a proxy-type external application. Starting with LSWS 4.2.13, LSWS will automatically create a proxy external application for rewrite rules that redirect to a local web server. If you are using a version below 4.2.13 or are running Node.js on a different server, you will need to use the following steps to manually create a proxy external application to proxy to Node.js. | ||
