4 years ago Considering rewriting our current server into PHP so it can run as odop/api/index.php under a standard Apache HTTP Server such as those provided by Dreamhost web hosting services.
- Install Composer In Your Project: Install composer command globally (similar to NodeJs npm command). See: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214899037-Installing-Composer-overview and "Install Globally" section.
- Define Your Dependencies: Create composer.json containing dependent PHP packages for the composer command to install. For example:
composer require bramus/router. which is "A lightweight and simple object oriented PHP Router" similar to NodeJS express. See: https://github.com/bramus/router. See also: https://packagist.org/?query=bramus%2Frouter - Install Dependencies: Run
composer installto install all required packages. - Autoload Dependencies: In the programming include:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
This doesn't seem possible. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54325397/how-to-connect-mysql-database-to-reactjs-app
Also See: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214869648-Persistent-processes. Which suggests that we cannot run a NodeJS server on a Dreamhost site concurrently along with the Wordpress/Apache server installation.
From: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/217185397-Node-js-overview Is it possible to run Node.js on ports 80 or 443? Yes, but only if you've enabled Passenger in the panel and the file to load your application is named app.js. View the following article for further details.
