If you want to run javascript from apache you can do it as CGI module. It wont be exacly node.js server and performance because Apache is your server, but you can execute node.js like scripts http://www.cgi-node.org/

You must add a handler to your apache configuration to handle whatever extension files for example .jss via CGI modlue that essentially calls node(.exe) depndeing if linux or windows. I made it work under Bitnami WAMP
