Can't connect to Jekyll's localhost:4000 on Windows 10 - windows-10

I'm trying to set up Jekyll on my Windows 10 machine, but can't connect to the website (127.0.0.1:4000) that is created by jekyll serve (or bundle exec jekyll serve). I have followed all the steps in Julian Thilo's Run Jekyll on Windows without any error messages. And when I run jekyll serve in PowerShell from my Jekyll website folder everything seems just fine:
Configuration file: C:/Users/fredr/dropbox/github/jekyll-website/_config.yml
Source: C:/Users/fredr/dropbox/github/jekyll-website
Destination: C:/Users/fredr/dropbox/github/jekyll-website/_site
Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
Generating...
done in 0.457 seconds.
Auto-regeneration: enabled for 'C:/Users/fredr/dropbox/github/jekyll-website'
Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.
But when I open http://127.0.0.1:4000 (or http://localhost:4000) in my browser, the connection fails.
When I run netstat -an, the port 4000 is listed as
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 127.0.0.1:4000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
I have previously managed to set up a localhost using IIS, but that website is stopped now.
This Github issue seems related, but doesn't contain enough information for me to figure out how the problem was solved. It only says to use the "Jekyll on windows package", but I can't find any information on that.

Following in #Fredrik P's footsteps, I CD'd into the project's _site folder (this is where the home folder of the server should be) and ran a Python 3.x simple HTTP server:
D:\frida\frida-website\_site>python -m http.server 3999
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 3999 (http://0.0.0.0:3999/) ...
Now pointing my browser to http://0.0.0.0:3999/ works like a charm.
If you need to use Python 2.x, the HTTP server command would be:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3999
For more information regarding SimpleHTTPServer (2.x) and http.server (3.x), see this Stack Overflow post.

Until some better solution pops up, I will just host the _site folder with IIS. Not as fancy pancy but works like a charm :)

Access Superset through a remote browser

I have installed Apache Superset on a remote Linux Server and initialized it on port 8080. When I pull up localhost:8080 on the Linux server, the homepage shows up which suggests that the installation worked as per their instructions here.
When I try to access this page from my laptop (Windows- Browser:Chrome) with http://server-name:8080. It gives me the 'This site can't be reached' page.
I tested using netcat if the connection was open by typing nc -zvw3 server-name 8080 and it gave me Connection to server-name 8080 port [tcp/webcache] succeeded!
I have Jupyter installed on the same server on port 8888 and it works perfectly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
You may need to try this command by defining the IP address:
superset run -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8080

Node web server not visible externally, but Python is (MacOS)

I'm just starting to build an Ionic 2 app, but I can't get it working on my mobile device.
Python (works)
To demonstrate that the phone can see the host, I tried a Python server:
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
If I go to http://192.168.8.101:8000 on my phone, it connects fine and displays the directory listing.
Node (fails)
However, when I start Ionic:
$ ionic serve -p 8000
[...]
[INFO] Development server running
Local: http://localhost:8000
External: http://192.168.8.101:8000
I can load it in my host's web browser, but I can't see it from my phone nor another computer (it times out). I also tried a basic node server:
$ npm install http-server -g
$ http-server -p 8000
Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
http://127.0.0.1:8000
http://192.168.8.101:8000
With the same result as Ionic: accessible from the host, but not from the phone.
Is there something blocking the request? Or is there some Node configuration I'm missing? I'm new to both Mac OS and Node, so I don't know where to look.
Embarrasingly, this turned out to be a firewall issue. In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options, Node was explicitly set to deny incoming connections:
Changing it to Allow has fixed it. Phew!
Just execute ionic address and you'll get an IP address in your command line. Try with that ipaddress:port number from your mobile which will enable you to access your site from your phone.
Just incase if the ionic address command doesn't return anything, you need to execute the below command to point it to your ip,
ionic serve --address YOUR_IP_ADDRESS
Hope this helps!

How can I access my nodejs web server from my local computer using the server domain name?

I installed nodejs and created a sample app. When I run npm start I get a message saying that I can open my web browser to http://localhost:3000 to see the app in action, but this installation is on a web server - not my local computer, so, instead of localhost:3000 I want to get there using something like mydomain.com:3000
I can't find the answer, it's very likely I just don't know how to search for it... any ideas?
I'm following the tutorial here: https://facebook.github.io/react/tutorial/tutorial.html
I think I only needed to get away from this for a while. I got it working using ssh local forwarding.
I already used an ssh config file to log in to my server without having to remember the password, so I just added this line to my config file:
LocalForward localhost:3000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my server IP address.
Then, I connected to my server via ssh:
ssh -f -N mysite
Once connected, I open up the browser and go to localhost:3000 and there it is now.
I used my ssh config file, but it should also work without it.
ssh -f -N -R 3000:localhost:3000 mydomain.com
I found this command that eventually led me to solve my problem in this link: http://stuff-things.net/2016/01/20/tunneling-to-localhost/

how to run nodejs app in vps with plesk enable

Hi guys im newbie in vps... I've bought an ovh not managed vps . I like to face problems... But I don't find any documents to these one. Is simple like I said I want to run a nodejs app in centos vps environment but I have enabled plesk.. and I saw in console running the app with the trace but I try to open website with the port and doesn't find anything.
http://vps406315.ovh.net
Thx for all guys
-----------------EDIT-------------------
I'm going to explain better,sorry for previous post.
There is no error, in my console all is ok. Like I said i have an CentOS VPS. Steps that I did:
Connect with PUTTY
Go to folder where is the NodeJS project.
I set the port to 8080
Write node index.js
The app is running and writing the right trace.
I use chrome to check the ip, and show me the default plesk page.
I use wget to check it, and with only http://92.222.71.137/. I attach
an screenshot
I tried to use with the port 8080 with the chrome and wget in putty,
and the response was the same.
In the other hand if I use http://92.222.71.137:8080/login with putty
download the right login.html, and the nodejs app write a trace
indicate me that someone connect to that page. But if I access with
chrome is not working.
Now I would like no know how to make access frome Chrome.
Thx 4 all and sorry for my newbie knowledge
You should give some other details on the configuration or eventual errors you get (both on the browser and the VPS) and how you run the node app (behind a web server, for example)
If you are not running you node app behind a web server, are the node app listening on the correct interface ? 127.0.0.1 and 92.222.71.137 (your site external address) are not the same.
On your VPS you can try to call the node app from the VPS itself using wget or cURL and looking for what happen in the app trace.
Finally it was easy... only i had to open a port to use with TCP, using
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8856 --syn -j ACCEPT –

Running nodejs app on Centos7 apache server

I'm trying to run a node web app (built with meteor) on a Centos7 server running EasyApache4 with WHM cPanel. I'm trying to run it on a subdomain off of one of our main websites on port 8080.
When going to the subdomain on port 8080, the connection just times out, but can see the html when using curl to access it.
Does anyone have any ideas why it won't work through the browser, and also how I can get it to look like it's running straight from the subdomain instead of having to go directly to the port.
EDIT
Below is the curl we are using to view the html
curl http://subdomain.site.com:8080
Doing that brings back the html no problems
Had the same problem today. I am using Memset Centos7 server with WHM/CPanel, running EasyApache 4.
After trying everything I could think of, I realised that I had a basic firewall setup, which closed all ports that were not listed. After adding port 8080, it worked.
Used this:
sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -i + -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
I am not 100% certain how secure this is, as I am still researching.
