[Solved] Is it possible to run Nodejs and PHP in the same server? If that is so, can you please explain the steps to make it happen?

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Lighttpd and I have been reading the forums but I haven't found any example running php and nodejs. I'll appreciate any directions. Thanks in advance!

One way is to run nodejs on a different port on localhost and to use lighttpd mod_proxy to send certain requests to the nodejs backend. PHP can be handled by mod_fastcgi or mod_cgi.

@gstrauss Thanks for the quick reply. PHP is already installed and configured by a previous developer that worked on this project. I'll take a look at the documentation you mentioned and I'm guessing I just need to create a new folder and install nodejs there. Then proceed to configure the reverse proxy...am I on the correct path?
