What do I need to run a node.js script on my server?

apache, node.js, server-side, socket.io

Solution

Node.js provides its own HTTP server, thus making Apache unnecessary.

If you wish to run Apache and Node.js on the same server, either set node to listen to port 80 and forward unhandled requests to Apache, or vice versa

In both instances, Node/Apache will listen to the publicly open port 80, and forward to Apache/Node listening on some non-public port.
