How to use vhosts alongside node-http-proxy?

Question

I\'m running Nodejs and Apache alongside each other.

node-http-proxy is listening on port 80 and then forwarding requests to either Apache(:9000) or to Express(:8000

I took some inspiration from @uglymunky and wrote a chef script to do this on Ubuntu.

With this script you can install express and apache with vhost support on a single server using 1 line after you pull down my chef project from github

If you have git installed and you pull it down you can kick it off like so ...

sudo ./install.sh configuration.json

This does require Ubuntu 12.04 or greater as I took advantage of an upstart script to start node when you reboot the machine

When the script is finished you will have a working ubuntu web server with express to run any node apps you configured, along side apache to run any wsgi apps you configured
