Running both PHP and Node.js on Nginx on the same server

Question

Is it possible to run both PHP and Node.js application on the same server with Nginx? I use nginx as reverse proxy for node.js while on PHP I use nginx as substitute for Apache web server.

Check this Gist… it works for me ;) Practically you can copy and paste, just need to update the routes. https://gist.github.com/yacafx/a730903e8ec69063c18394e4752b6657 Hope this works for you!

This is definitely possible. It can be implemented by setting up separate server blocks for each app. Check out this tutorial: How To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS At its most basic, you can create a separate block for each. This uses the server_name directive to route requests to example.com to your php app and requests to node.example.com to the node app running on port 2368. server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /usr/share/nginx/html/php; index index.php index.html index.htm; server_name example.com; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } error_page 404 /404.html; error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on; server_name node.example.com; root /usr/share/nginx/html/node; index index.html index.htm; client_max_body_size 10G; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:2368; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_buffering off; } } If you need to do something a little more complicate, you might also want to check out: Understanding Nginx Server and Location Block Selection Algorithms
