node js installation on Apache HTTP server (centOS)

I'm working at a project in school that includes Apache server. All i need to do right now to start working with the server is create An index file (html, ph) at my folder on the server (inside the public_html) and the server will return that page.

but the thing is that I want to write the server with nodejs. I have already manage to install node on the server but I know how to ignore the Apache server and start working with node.

I read about that and I saw that i need to start node on a different port? or use proxy? but I really don't know that much about servers.

You can use apache as proxy for nodejs https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html.

ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/

Or, if you want to run the nodejs not from root directory of server

ProxyPass /mynodejsproject http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse /mynodejsproject http://localhost:3000/

For example, nodejs application listens on 3000 port, apache on 80 port, and it proxies requests to nodejs application.

But i recommend you to use nginx as proxy for nodejs application, this is the config i used in my projects https://github.com/vodolaz095/hunt/blob/master/examples/serverConfigsExamples/nginx.conf

service apache2 stop Stops your apache server (It works on 80 port default)

Also there is a good tool for nodejs ,you will able to manage your nodeJS server(you can give 80 port now) like services with forever on nodeJS.(I assumed you know how to creating your nodejs http server)
