node.js serve a wordpress blog

Question

I am using node.js on my rackspace server to serve my various applications. (Using node-http-proxy).

However, i would like to start a wordpress blog. The only way to serve the blog is via apache (or nginx).

Is there a way to server my wordpress blog from a node.js application itself?

Answer 1

You need some server running to execute the PHP. Node is JavaScript.

Whether that's apache, or nginx/php-fpm or just php-fpm, you need something to actually run the wordpress code, then use the same proxying system you are using now.
