I have been trying to run the nodejs server on a micro-instance of amazon for the last 3-4 days without success.
I followed a lot of tutorials, and I can’t get the server to work (therefore, when it is visited in a browser or broken in PowerShell and see a simple hello world).
Here are the last 3 tutorials I've tried:
http://iconof.com/blog/how-to-install-setup-node-js-on-amazon-aws-ec2-complete-guide/
http://techprd.com/setup-node-js-web- server-on-amazon-ec2 /
http://devblog.daniel.gs/2014/01/deploying-node-apps-on-aws-ec2-with.html
I tried ubuntu / amazon linux.
I also followed http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html to see how the overall process works and it works great.
I get to the point where I am doing something like: sudo node filename.js
and the server is working.
However, when I try to visit or twist it. he does not work. when I ping, it pings great.
in amazon, I set up a security group to basically allow it like this:
on linux I stuck to it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo?action=show&redirect=Iptables to open the port that I was trying to listen to and nothing.
when I print: sudo service iptables statusI get:
1 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:1337:1347
2 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:1338:1348
3 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:10000
Keep in mind that I'm not an experienced guy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: node, , nodejs.org:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');
