Hey web devs out there!
I have a question that I couldn't get an answer too.
I'm using Ubuntu 17.04 and lamp stack for my web development.
And now I've taken a course on Mean stack. So now I want to install the related server i.e node. But as you might see I already have Apache as a server.
Now I don't want to replace the lamp stack completely with mean stack. I want it to be there and working.
I also want to install and run mean stack.
So my question is how should I go about installing node server and related technologies? Multiple servers will give a problem for me or how should I solve it?
I saw something like using a different port for node. But I couldn't completely understand. So any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

    You can use a different port, or add another ip to the machine and use that.
    If it's the machine you're working on, you can use any address from 127.0.0.0, it a class a

    @nbamaral yes I want to work on my laptop alone. And not about server or anything.
    I've read that using port. But could you please elaborate as to how? I couldn't find any suitable video or guide.

    use port 8081 for node so

    localhost:8080 will be apache

    localhost:8081 will be node

    the first command in every node tutorial is setting the port, idk

    Don't know exactly what is the config file for node. For apache look for a line "Listen" usually in /etc/apache/httpd.conf (different distros may use other files).
    Change *:80 to 81 for example.
    Or 192.168.1.100:80
    Don't be afraid to test whatever works best for you, keep a copy of the original config

    Yes. So my Apache is currently running on port 80.
    I just need to configure node after installing it to listen to some other port?
    Thank you! @BindView @nbamaral

    Yes. Or you won't be able to run both at the same time.
    As netadmin my gut says use different ip, but port also works fine for development machines
