Using Node.js

 
administrator guideplesk administrationdomainsextensionshosting

Enabling Node.js support

To enable Node.js support on the server, follow these steps:

Plesk for Linux

  1. Go to Tools & Settings and click Updates.
  2. Go to Add/Remove Components, expand Web hosting, and mark the
    “NodeJS support” component for installation.
  3. Click Continue to begin the installation.

Plesk for Windows

  1. Go to Tools & Settings and click Updates.
  2. Go to Add/Remove Components, expand Web hosting, and mark the
    “Node.js IIS module (iisnode)” and “Node.js” components for
    installation.
  3. Select the desired Node.js version under the “Node.js” component
  4. Click Continue to begin the installation.

Note: To use Node.js applications inside CageFS, install the passenger-cagefs package
and follow the instructions in its README file.

    Node.js version.
  • (Plesk for Windows) Only one Node.js version can be installed at any
    time, and is used to power all Node.js applications on the server.

these steps:

Plesk for Linux

  1. Go to Extensions and click Node.js Manager. Here, you can see
    the Node.js versions installed on the server as well as the paths to
    their corresponding binaries.
  2. Click the image 76663 icon next to a Node.js version to disable
    it. Disabling a Node.js version has the following effects:

    • The disabled Node.js version can no longer be selected when
      managing Node.js applications for domains.
    • Existing Node.js applications are switched to a different, enabled
      Node.js version (if possible).
    • If all Node.js versions on the server are disabled, all existing
      Node.js applications stop working, and the ability to manage
      Node.js applications for domains is removed until…
