I want to run a Node.js Express app together with Apache configured by CPanel

Instructions for "CPanel How to Install a Node.js Application" describe setting up an Express app listening on port 3000. https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Install+a+Node.js+Application. But CPanel >> Home >> Software >> Application Manager has no input to enter the port where requests should be forwarded.

The running Express app responds to curl http://127.0.0.1:3000

Expected a request to url http://example.com/nodejsapp to receive a response from the Node.js App but get a 404 Error instead. Should forwarding to a particular port be included ?

You mush config .htaccess :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ http://127.0.0.1:XXXXX/ [P,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:XXXXX/$1 [P,L]

with XXXXX is your port .

The express app is listening on 3000 should both sets of XXXX be 3000 ? Where is that port number set up in the CPanel Application Manager ?
No, you must config in .htaccess and you can set port server at server.js (file contain your server code) . Then you want run at port 3000 , you must set XXXXX to 3000
Implemented that but still getting a 404
I beleive you must contact your hosting provider. Because It is including server config . Tell me problem after contact your hosting provider .
This worked like a charm for me. Running React/Next SSR application on Fast Comet.
