Deploy node.js app

[ee0jmgt]

I have a Linux Ultimate Hosting account and I am trying to work out how to deploy a nodejs app to one of my sub domains. Are there any godaddy instructions on how to do this?

I followed the instructions here and seem to have node installed: https://ferugi.com/blog/nodejs-on-godaddy-shared-cpanel/

I also followed another tutorial which showed how to use the .htaccess file to divert the domain to use the app e.g.

PassengerBaseURI /
PassengerAppRoot /home/{user}/myapp

PassengerAppType node
PassengerStartupFile start.js

It doesn't work and I don't have a lot of confidence that this is correct.

Does anyone have any good instructions?

Thanks in advance!

I did a bit more digging and found the solution here:

I needed to add the following to the .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule  (.*)  http://localhost:3000/$1  [P,L] 

Hopefully this will help someone else!

It will be great if you share your steps, I have node installed using nvm.

I tried the steps but after creating the .htaccess I get :

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
