A few weeks back i built a node like stack to run web apps in a sandbox. What this stack did was simulate the environment or location of the app. So if my app.js file saved to “/home/stack/myapp/app.js” then __dirname would be just “/” as in the root of the file system. The problem you have it that the commonjs module system is locked into node very dearly. To get around this you need to “simulate” module.require you been given so you have the right __dirname for where you are requiring it.
If you have ever played with the cydia stack from heroku you will see that you app is running in a sandbox. Now what heroku does with there sand-boxing is a lot more but you get the idea. Now what i have here are 4 files. main.js, app.js, evn.js and modules.js. main.js: https://gist.github.com/1836771 app.js: https://gist.github.com/1836762 evn.js: https://gist.github.com/1836764 modules.js: https://gist.github.com/1836767 main.js shows how to start the “app”. evn.js is how it requires each module. app.js is the context loader. modules.js well you can see what it does.
