Why do I get an error on my Amazon server when running my NodeJS app?
sudo node app.js
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
at errnoException (net.js:904:11)
at Server._listen2 (net.js:1042:14)

at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
Here is my code:
var app = express();
var server = http.createServer(app).listen(4000, function() {
console.log('Express HTTP server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
https.createServer(credentials, app).listen(443, function() {
console.log('Express HTTPS server listening on port 443');
});
I think the problem is the 443 because when I delete the https.createServer "listen()" connection then everything works fine.
Thanks for your attention :)
You probably have another process running that's using this port (probably another instance of your app.
Use ps aux to see your running processes.
Use lsof -i | grep 4000 to see what's using this port.

I am running a simple node js server on my Mac. I also have mamp installed. Just FYI.I am able to go to localhost:8888 just fine and preview the web page. However, in my server.js file, if I include the host as a parameter to the server.listen function like so
server.listen(127.0.0.1, 8888, function(){
console.log('Server running');
})
I get the following error in my terminal.

If I just have
server.listen(8888, function(){
console.log('Server running');
})
everything works fine. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I have mamp installed? Just want to understand why one works and the other doesn't.
Try putting your host after port as following
server.listen(8888, '127.0.0.1', function() {
console.log('Server running');
})
app.listen documentation
app.listen([port[, host[, backlog]]][, callback])
Some other process might have been using 8888 port. You can either kill that process or use someother port for your nodejs server.
To get the process id of the process using port 8888, use
lsof -i tcp:8888
and kill the process using
kill -9 <pid>
Hope this helps.
Probably you're currently running your server in that port. Try with:
killall node
Have tried do work out this simple code in cloud9
but it seems like some process is already located
on process.env.PORT and I can't seem to find it.
Have tried killing nodes searching for nodes.
And i'm not entirely sure how to connect to port like 3000 on cloud9. (localhost:3000)

The code

I'm new to node.js and was trying to run the following training example for setting up a basic http server on my mac (OS X Yosemite 10.10.3):
var http = require("http");
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
request.on("end", function () {
response.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
});
response.end('Hello HTTP!');
});
}).listen(8080);
I get the following error when executing the code:

Not sure if this is a localhost config issue or something else. Any help much appreciated.
Another application is using the port 8080. You can run
lsof -i :8080
to see what it is. You can also just try another port.

I've tried killall, but I still get the same error message.

The EACCES error normally means that you are trying to bind to a port and failing. This is probably because you are trying to bind to port 80 without root permissions. Try running node with root permissions and it should work.
sudo node server.js
or
sudo nodejs server.js
Depending on how you have Ubuntu setup.
If this is a development environment instead of running as root you should use a port greater than 1024. Typically you will find people using port 3000 for node though 8000 and 8080 are also used. Here is how I normally do this when using Express.
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log("Listening on " + port);
});
Writing a test application in Node.js running on OpenShift and it currently will not start.
This is my code:
#!/bin/env node
var http = require('http');
var ip = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP;
var port = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT;
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(ip, port);
console.log('Server running');

Which seems to mean I can't bind to the port. I've found various information on why this might be but none of it seems relevant - it all seems related to permissions but surely the point of process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_* is I have permission to bind to it?
It means some other process is using your port process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT. EACCESS would mean permission denied, not EADDRINUSE. Try changing to unused ports like 8080. You can check used ports with :
netstat -tulpn
netstat -tulpn | grep :$OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT //filter by your port
