I start to use Node.js for a while, so I try to use .htaccess file to clean the urls and its not worked, so I found that we can use express-http-proxy plugin in app.use function. so - I build a login page (based on php) and when I redirect to this page the page was shown is the index.html page, here`s my code:

var http = require('http');
var proxy = require('express-http-proxy');
app.use(express.static('../public'));
app.use('/login', proxy('http://localhost:1234/pages/login.php'));

Solution for this problem:

I changed the url in proxy to my website address, instead of the server address (with port 1234). for example if my server run on localhost:1234, on domain domain.com you need to put this domain.com in the proxy.

As far as I know Node does not use htaccess. You could look into express-htaccess-middleware to see if you can proxy your php page through your Node server. I don't know if it can be done though.

Anyway it seems that you're trying to render a local php page through Node/Express (.../pages/login.php). Node only does javascript so it won't be able to render a php page, there is an express middleware that does php interpretation (provided php is installed on your server) but I won't advise you to do that.

If you want to serve php pages, it's better to have them hosted on a php server, then if you want to create a proxy from your node to the php server, what I would do is a proxy in express to your php server with express-http-proxy

 app.use(express.static('../public'));
 app.use('/login', proxy('www.domainOfYourPhpServer/pages/login.php'));
