wordpress and node.js

Right, it's possible. The only catch is that Apache (running Wordpress) and Node.JS can't bind to the same port. In other words, you'll need to have Wordpress running on port 8080 and Node running on 80 (or other different ports).\n\n\nInstall Apache, PHP, Node, NPM, MySQL, NoSQL...\nConfigure Apache to listen on the desired port. (8080?)\nInstall Wordpress & Start Apache.\nStart your Node application.\n\n\nAs for the precise steps involved to install those services, there are hundreds of guides online.",

If you're planning on using node for being accessed asynchronously by JavaScript that's being served by wordpress, then it will make your life considerably easier to have them running on the same host and port. What I've done in the past is set up the following:\n\n\nApache + PHP + Wordpress running on some port (8000?)\nNode + npm + ever other package you'll want running on some other port (9000?)\nHAProxy with some rules listening on port 80 which will decide based on the path which of the two servers to send requests to.\nA normal installation of MySQL and whichever NoSQL DB you pick.\n\n\nRecent versions of HAProxy can also terminate SSL, if you want to do the same with HTTPS on port 443.\n\nHere's a sample HAProxy configuration:\n\ndefaults\n log global\n maxconn 4096\n mode http\n option http-server-close\n timeout connect 5s\n timeout client 30s\n timeout server 30s\n\nfrontend public\n # HTTP\n bind :80\n use_backend node if { path_beg /services }\n # Everything else to Apache.\n default_backend apache\n\nbackend node\n server node1 127.0.0.1:9000\n\nbackend apache\n server apache1 127.0.0.1:8000\n",
