I wrote and ran a node.js program (eg: hello.js) on my linux server with IP Address 62.x.x.x with basic content:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(
function(req,res){
res.writeHead(200, {'content-type':'Text plain'});
res.end('Hello ');
}
).listen(8000)
I tried to test it on the server with curl command: curl http: //127.0.0.1:8000
I got the expected result: hello on screen.
But when i tried it on my client machince with a browser client (IE, Firefox,...) http://62.x.x.x:8000 the webbrowser can not load this page and can not return my result.
I don't know what does this error mean?
The problem is that the firewall is stopping the page from loading. You need to configure your firewall to allow outbound traffic on port 8000
Try listeting to your external interface, like
).listen(8000, "62.x.x.x")
