Hey, i have my first steps with node.js and drupal. At first, I have installed Node.js on an ubuntu 10.11 Server. Drupal with Apache runs in another Server. Now I have no idea how to install the application to get node.js work.
What I understand is to have a directory on the node.js server where I put the server.js in. Now if i try to start the node.js server with
cd /var/node/server //the server.js is in here
node server.jsBut that throws an exception saying "Error: Cannot find module 'express'"
I am almost sure that I forgot some things and have some architectual problems...So I would be very happy if anybody could help me getting this "cool thing" work.
chers!

Invest in studying up on node.js and sysadmin for linux. I don't think this is the forum for that kind of question when you can just google how to setup node.js on ubuntu.
Do you have express installed?
The first thing I would check is that you have express installed with your node instance. I would highly suggest using npm if you aren't already. It makes installing something like express or socket.io as easy as:
npm install expressAs markwk suggested there are many resources on getting node.js (along with npm, express, soket.io, etc) up and running. Felix's Node.js Guide is a good start. Good luck.
