WWWSet

A small Bash script to switch between Apache / NodeJS (with Gulp) projects.

Basicly this script repoints the DocumentRoot (/var/www by default) to a new directory if using Apache or boots Gulp if a gulpfile.js is detected (see project types).

It can be used implicitly to specify a new root:

wwwset /dir/somewhere/on/disk

Or by itself:

wwwset

to set the current directory as the root.

Installing

git clone https://github.com/hash-bang/Bash-WWWSet.git
cd Bash-WWWSet
sudo make install

Project types

Apache projects

This project will auto set the DocumentRoot directory to whichever directory it is given.

In most cases this means setting the /var/www directory to the project folder.

Gulp projects

If a gulpfile.js file is found within the project directory this script will stop Apache and boot Gulp to serve the package.

In order to get your Node project running on port 80 you will need to change the port its served on (duh!) and also give Node permissions to run on low ports (anything <1024):

sudo apt-get install -y libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/nodejs
