Hello I am definitely new to HTTPS so please bear with me. In order to run the nodejs application, http-server, I use this command on my webserver:
http-server -p 80 -S
The -p flag specifies the port and then the -S flag specifies that I will be using the https protocol. I am able to access the website just fine by physically going to the web server's address like:
https://123.456.78.90:80
However when I try to access the site from my domain:
example.com
or even:
https://example.com
I get a connection refused error in the browser. This perplexes me as I have created A records to redirect the domain to the ip address with digital ocean, along with using their nameservers. This whole process works flawlessly when I start up an instance of http-server in normal http mode like this:
http-server -p 80
Any help is MUCH appreciated as I haven't been able to find much on the topic. Thanks internet people.
Try to use a free ports. The port 80 is currently used for http connections.
http-server -p 9090
Wow figured it out. I needed to specify the port 443 when starting the http-server for https to work properly.

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
I have a NodeJs/Express project in Alibaba cloud based Ubuntu server.
When I run project and access with curl localhost:3000 and curl 127.0.0.1:3000 it works!
When I access with IP public, e.g. curl 192.x.x.x:3000 it doesn't work, even though I have edited config in Express project in some code to : server.listen(3000,"0.0.0.0") OR server.listen("3000","192.x.x.x").
FYI I have Apache on this server. When I access on Internet with IP public no problem.
What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks beforehand.
PS: the 192.x.x.x is my IP public and it works access with Apache project
Issue the following command to open port 3000 for TCP traffic.
sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp
You have to configure your security ground and create a inbound rule to allow port 3000. Follow this guideline.
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25471.htm
Make sure you allow TCP traffic or all traffic from all sources to the port 3000 as the inbound rule.
The fact that you can access your service locally - but not publicly could mean 2 possible configurations:
The server running your application has blocked the port 3000
You have not configured your server to map the port 80 of a specific route to the port 3000
It is highly possible that a most essential part of your server configuration has not been done.
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 –
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.
I have a VPS with node.js installed, I already uploaded a basic example to test it on the server, so I tried doing this:
I access by SSH, navigate to my project folder and run
node app.js
I get this message
Express server listening on port 8080
I thought i could see my app here
example.com:8080 or server.example:8080... but nothing. Then I tried with the info from os.networkInterfaces(); and os.host(); and still nothing happen
could you help me out? as you can see I am a total noob on node.js. What I'm doing wrong? or what should I do before running my app? Something related to DNS's? i have no idea
How do you ssh to your host? with ip or name? Is it something like:
ssh root#example.com
if so then at least you know your DNS is ok.
Once on the server do a
netstat -a
if you find *:8080 then your server is listening in the default ip. If you see something like 12.23.45.67:8080 then this number is the ip your server is listening.
ifconfig
will give you the servers ip. This should be the same as the ip of example.com. If not then maybe there is some router/firewall in front of your server and you have to configure that to allow port 8080 to reach your server.
if someone ever has the same problem this is how i solved on CentOS:
Open this file
/ Etc / csf / csf.conf
Add the required port
Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,26"
Allow outgoing TCP ports
TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,587,873"
Restart
# # Csf-r
