I have a server running centos 7 using cpanel and whm with csf. I am trying to run a nodejs express application on it that listens on port 3000. In order to do so, I added the line tcp|in|d=3000|s=0.0.0.0 to csf.allow.
When I run the code and use wget localhost:3000, I get the html files as expected, but if I try to connect from a browser the server just doesn't get the request. Am I doingsomehting wrong?
I am new to Linux and server management, so sorry in advance if I didn't give enough information. I'll be happy to provide more if needed.
If anyone stumbles upon this from Google, the problem was that my server provider was blocking uncommon ports. I mailed them and after two minutes the problem was solved.

I have recently made this socket.io chat app with the help of online videos. But the problem is I modified the code and now I want to integrate it in a bigger website like a social network.
The problem, apparently, is the code can't find the socket.io.js file even though it is in it. I know you would usually run a server from gitbash, but it is already running one so why run gitbash as well?
The exact error is:
GET http://localhost/socket.io/socket.io.js ERR: NET ABORTED
This is causing all the trouble.
Also, any opinions on doing all of this in php. I can do it in php, it's easy.
You're trying to load the file from
http://localhost/socket.io/socket.io.js
HTTP requests directly to localhost will go to localhost port 80 by default, which you probably don't have a server running on.
Change the source of the js file to the port that your app is running on, should look like this:
http://localhost:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js
I followed all kinds of instructions all day to get my first server up and running. I tested it on 3 devices and thought I had it... until my friend tried it and discovered "site can't be reached."
In double-checking on my end, I found that if I disconnected my phone from wi-fi, sure enough, I couldn't reach my server.
I realize there could be a million things wrong, but I don't know where to start. I am not even sure what additional information I should include to help find the issue. If I had to guess, I'd say I failed to open the firewall on my server port 80. But I really have no clue. Ubuntu is new to me.
Can you include details about your setup? How is the Ubuntu server configured? If it's your own hardware, have you forwarded the ports on your router? Do you have a Dynamic DNS server in place? Is there an internal firewall (ufw?). Is the Node.js server bound to the loopback? Is Nginx in proxy_pass mode?
As mentioned by the OP, the ports weren't forwarded.
I am new with SSH. I have SSH server with Cent OS and I need create Node.js program use Express. After install Node.js I run node and next tried connection to server in browser with this URL:
http://IP_ADDRESS:3000/. But get error Can't connect to server.
Sorry for my stupid question, but help me with this problem. What I need do for send request to node.js server.
Although the question is quite vague, it could be that your server's firewall is preventing you from accessing port 3000 from its external IP.

I wanted to test my ReactJS + NodeJS website on another machine on my LAN, so I changed the server host ip from localhost to 0.0.0.0 as described in this answer. I noticed that although I could access the server from a remote machine, all I could see was the title and favicon (the rest was a blank page). I tried another approach of using the ngrok module as described here (which happens to be the answer to the same question as the previous link). I still got the same blank page.
The GET requests to the server are shown below (as shown by ngrok).
/landing is a page I was trying to access. Can someone explain whats happening?
PS: The server is running on a Mac and I'm trying to access the page on an Ubuntu machine. Also, I'm using this react-redux boilerplate. Webpack is also being used along with hot reloading.
Did you try changing port settings in firewall?
Go to firewall settings and allow the respective port for inbound
I am running a m1.microinstance of aws, using CentOS. I downloaded Yeoman, git, npm and all of the dependencies are present. I am trying to run a MEAN stack on this server, so, mongo, express, angular and node. However, when I visit my public DNS, my site gives me this error: "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ec2-54-191-0-63.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com". On my admin control panel, I see my instance status, and it says it is running. I understand that if I had used apache, the page that displays is in the /var/www/html directory.. So, how do I get a directory similar to apaches, to display my html files, or whatever I would like the public to see? I have my security groups configured, for inbound, to listen to SSH port 22, for everyone, as well as HTTP port 80, for everyone.
Yeoman set up a nice app folder for me, but for some reason it does not display. I thought maybe I was missing a server.js, but that does not seem to have fixed anything when I added it. Any advice? Thanks!
Make sure you are matching the port all the way through - your browsers URL:PORT, the EC2 routing rules and your NodeJS settings. It looks like you might be listening to a port higher than 80 on the server.
As you mentioned in your comment, if you want to listen on a port below 1024 you will need to run the command as a privileged user.
I didn't run node as root on my AWS server, so it was not setting up my nicely built app that Yeoman made for me.
