If you are looking for a CGI module to run node.js under webservers like Apache or IIS then cgi-node will allow you to do just that.

Apache example: you can add a .htaccess file within your web folder to point all *.jscirpt files to be executed using Node.js through the cgi-node module. Something like this:

Action cgi-node /cgi-bin/cgi-node.js 
AddHandler cgi-node .jscript

Also including the cgi-node.js script found on the cgi-node.org website within the cgi-bin folder.

CGI-Node allows Node.js to behaves exactly like PHP when running under a webserver.

Documentations and tutorials available on the site: cgi-node.org

There is a node-cgi module (found through npm registry) which looks to be actively maintained.
