You may want to take a look at Phusion Passenger (https://www.phusionpassenger.com/). It is like a mod_node, but it is in very active development. It was originally a Ruby app server but it has recently introduced support for Node. With Passenger, you point your virtual host's DocumentRoot to your app's 'public' directory, and you're done. All the process management etc is handled automatically, and it introduces all sorts of useful management features such as the ability to inspect the state of all apps. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
