I'm new to Ubuntu and Apache.
When I CRUD through Express, instead of using the server´s localhost, server/browser will use my computer's localhost.
If I turn off Express server in localhost, the server's get, post and delete don't work, and I can't seem to find a way to use the server's localhost instead of my computer's.
I've also tried sending my requests to:
http://localhost:8383/decrypted
http://127.0.0.1:8383/decrypted
The routes above throw an error as they are http and server is https.
https://example.com/8383/decrypted
The route about throws error connection refused
https://example.com/8080/decrypted
I tried adding a virtualhost in 8080 and routing it through apache to 8383, but shows the same error as above, connection refused.
How can I make the server use its localhost instead of the user's localhost?

I have a project that use a NodeJs server for back-end and VueJs for front-end.
I run the front-end server using this:
npm run serve
Now, I have a domain
duduman.ro
And I want to set the domain for my app that runs on localhost:8080
I tried using apache, but i didn't succeed.(setting virtualhost)
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName duduman.ro
</VirtualHost>
I also tried to set a subdomain: app.duduman.ro for 8080 port, but calling "app.duduman.ro" return "Object not found" and calling "app.duduman.ro:8080" return "Invalid Host header".
PS: The port is forwarded correctly because external ip using port 8080 works just fine.
Check out Heroku node.js app, it should solve your issues.

For me is the easiest way to deploy.
I have a node app that is setup on SSH by running node osjs run --hostname=dc-619670cb94e6.vtxfactory.org --port=4100.
It starts at http://dc-619670cb94e6.vtxfactory.org:4100/ without problems, but instead I want to serve it through HTTPS https://dc-619670cb94e6.vtxfactory.org:4100/ , where I receive an error ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED.
If I use the port I'm unable to reach it with https, but https://dc-619670cb94e6.vtxfactory.org/ is accessible.
How can I serve the port 4100 through htttps?
Thanks.
This is an implementation detail of OS.js. Their docs recommend setting up a reverse proxy for servers. Doing this will give you more control over SSL and ports, like you want
https://manual.os-js.org/installation/
I have an existing ssl certificate through LetsEncrypt for my domain. On the same server as my site I have an express app running at port :8080. Before adding the SSL to the domain I was able to make requests to http://domainname:8080.com. Now that the domain making the requests is https it obviously can't make those requests. If I instead make requests to https://domainname:8080.com, I get no response and instead get a timeout error.
I have attempted to curl -X -POST on the server manually and it returns (35) gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. If I however run the same command pointing to the non https domain it executes correctly. I also tried installing the https modules for express and pointing it to the same certs I'm using for the domain. For all my effort I cannot get this to work. What am I missing here? I want to make requests to a port on the same server that is serving my app.
Setup a reverse proxy in my nginx site config from the domain to the ip address the express server was running on. This solved all the issues I was having.
I'm trying to access a node proxy server running on my local machine from somewhere else(specified later). I've tried setting proxy listening domain to 0.0.0.0 with with port 8888. The file that will send request to the proxy server is hosted using a simpleHttpServer at 127.0.0.1 with port 4444 on another computer. In this file, I'm sending the request to http://my_local_ip:8888 (I'm assuming this is where the Node Proxy lives on my computer). However, I'm get connection timeout for some reason. Does anyone see problems with this approach?
I have installed Node.js with Socket.io on a CentOS server which is running Apache on port 80.
I created a socket test, which justs listens on port 8080.
If I curl the address localhost:8080 from within the server's shell, I get the Socket.io-welcome message. If I have a line like this:
<script src="http://localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
Then the browser cannot find the file.
A "solution" was to proxy requests to /nodejs/ to http://localhost:8080/, but this solution did not work for very long.
Is it possible to run the Node.js server when we have Apache installed? Which settings must be changed in order for us to access the url: http://server.com:8080 ? It seems the Node.js only accepts connections from localhost.
Problem is most probably in your node.js program.
It should listen on 0.0.0.0 and not 127.0.0.1 which is local only.
So where you've got something like:
.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1'); // '127.0.0.1' or 'localhost'
You should change it to:
.listen(8080); // or 0.0.0.0
Apache will only interfere if it also uses port 8080 but you should get an error when starting your node app if this is the case.
Also, if you connect to http://localhost in your browser, it will only work if the server is on the same local machine as the browser. Fine for testing I guess.
You'll have to connect to a domain or ip address if you have a hosted server else no browser will find it.
Update:
Your socket.io code also needs to connect correctly:
var socket = io.connect('http://correct.server.com:8080'); // not localhost
and your browser needs to load the javascript file from the correct place:
<script src="http://correct.server.com/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> // not localhost
This might help with firewall / load balancer issues:
