I created a node env using nitrous.io. Inside of their terminal I installed yeoman.
If I try to run grunt server I get an error stating:
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

If i go to preview than connect to port 3000 i get this
The Reference states for node to change 127.0.0.1 or "localhost" to 0.0.0.0
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(3000, '0.0.0.0');
console.log('Server running at http://0.0.0.0:3000/');
Grunt syntaxes are a bit different for a server
connect: {
options: {
port: 3000,
// Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
hostname: '0.0.0.0' //
},
Even after this change the errors persist. Failing when I run grunt server or go to preview port 3000
Any ideas on what I'm doing incorrect? How do I run my grunt server so I may see my site in the broswer?
Have you gone through the advice on the first error message you got? You need both Gruntfile.js and package.json (with Grunt listed as a dependency); this is covered in the official documentation. Then, by running npm install you will be able to pull down a local Grunt to your project.
To summarize the comments this worked for me:
gem install sass; gem install compass
yo webapp
Edit Gruntfile.js around line 43:
connect: {
options: {
port: 3000, // <- changed this line
livereload: 35729,
hostname: '0.0.0.0' // <- changed this line
Run grunt server and click on the Preview-Button / Port 3000.

I have an ember project using Signalmaster. In the config/environment.js I have the following:
if (environment === 'production') {
ENV.SIGNALMASTER = {
HOST: 'https://localhost:8890',
PORT: '8890',
FORCE_CONNECTION: true
};
On my server I have signalmaster running at https://localhost:8890 (in the development.json and production.json files in the config directory for signalmaster I have secure set to true, and in the server.js file for signalmaster I've put in the location of my SSL certificate and key, as is required for running it on https) - when running "node server.js" I get the following:
signal master is running at: https://localhost:8890
Running "netstat -lnp" also shows a process running on port 8890. However when I use the app I get errors like this:
GET https://localhost:8890/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LjG8--J net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I am using socket.io version 1.3.7.
Instead of having the host as https://localhost:8890, seems it had to be https://[domain.com]:8890
This question already has answers here:
Containerized Node server inaccessible with server.listen(port, '127.0.0.1')
(2 answers)
Closed 9 months ago.
I'm just trying to learn Node.js and Docker at the same time. I have a very simple Node.js app that listens on a port and returns a string. The Node app itself runs fine when running locally. I'm now trying to get it running in a Docker container but I can't seem to reach it.
Here's my Node app:
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
var count = 0;
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
res.end("Here's the current value: " + count);
console.log('Got a request: ', req.url);
count++;
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
My Dockerfile:
FROM node:latest
MAINTAINER Jason
ENV PORT=3000
COPY . /var/www
WORKDIR /var/www
EXPOSE $PORT
ENTRYPOINT ["node", "app.js"]
My build command:
docker build -t jason/node .
And my run command:
docker run -p 3000:3000 jason/node
The app.js file and Dockerfile live in the same directory where I'm running the commands. Doing a docker ps shows the app running but I just get a site cannot be reached error when navigating to 127.0.0.1:3000 in the browser. I've also confirmed that app.js was properly added to the image and I get the message "Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/" after running.
I think I'm missing something really simple, any ideas?
Omit hostname or use '0.0.0.0' on listen function. Make it server.listen(port, '0.0.0.0', () => { console.log(Server running..); });
If You use docker on Windows 7/8 you most probably have a docker-machine running then You would need to access it on something like 192.168.99.100 or whatever ip your docker-machine has.
To see if you are running a docker-machine just issue the command
docker-machine ls
I'm trying a simple sample of node express that I copied from online. The script is below which I think is pretty standard.
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(request, response)){
response.writeHead(200);
response.write("hello");
response.end();
}).listen(8080);
console.log('listening on port 8080...');
I used the bash on ubuntu on windows command as follows:
npm init
node SampleServer.js (the name of my file)
When I do this, I expect some response from the command line. But when I enter the "node SamplerServer.js" command, nothing happens. When I direct the browser to port 8080, I get an error message as well.
I'm using nodeclipse and the installing that on my machine was pretty complicated. Prior to any of the steps above, I created an express project in eclipse ide. It seems to perform a lot of pre steps but in the end, I think I'm getting some of the error messages below. I'm mentioning this because I'm thinking perhaps I installed one of the modules wrong.

Start with simple stuff...
Use express-generator to create simple app by the following command
1-> npm install -g express-generator with root or Admin access
2-> Run express demoapp.
3-> Navigate to demoapp
4-> Do npm install
5-> Run from command with npm start: it run by default on http://localhost:3000
Hit that URL from Browser
The title pretty much says it all. I'm on Windows 10, and I have a node app that I start with npm start. (I know almost nothing about node.js.) The app runs on gulp.js. I need the app to open in Firefox, even though Chrome is my default browser. How can I do this? Here's the code that opens the app now; the docs don't allude to there being such an option for the open parameter:
gulp.task('webserver', function() {
gulp.src('./app')
.pipe(webserver({
livereload: true,
open: true,
defaultFile: 'index.html',
port: serverPort
}));
});
Install gulp-open by typing the following in to your console
npm install gulp-open --save
Add the following to the top of your gulpfile.js
var open = require('gulp-open');
Add the following to the end of your gulpfile.js
gulp.task('browser', function(){
var options = {
uri: 'localhost:<enter the port you are using here>',
app: 'firefox'
};
gulp.src(__filename)
.pipe(open(options));
});
Add 'browser' to your gulp default. This is what actually opens the browser at the port you are running your app on
gulp.task('default', ['webserver', 'browser']);
in console type gulp
I developed my Nodejs Express app locally using Express 4 and it works as expected on my computer. I then git the whole app up to Openshift. When I try to run it Openshift returns"503 Service Unavailable". If I ssh into my base Node cartridge and do "express -V" it returns version 3.2.5. I get the same version 3.2.5 if I go into my app folder at app-root/repo and run "express -V".
So clearly my Express 4 which was included in the git upload in my app's node_modules is not being used. What is the solution to use Express 4 as required by my app?
Ideas are- remove Openshift's version of Express 3, force Openshift to use my Express 4 in my app area, upgrade Openshift's Express 3 to Express 4. I cannot figure out how to do any of those and I have researched this.
Here's how to troubleshoot:
ssh into your cartridge
cd into the app-root/repo directory
run grep version ./node_modules/express/package.json
you should see a version based on your package.json dependency
verify your package.json has a scripts section containing a start command that just runs your app with something like node ./server.js (server.js being whatever file you coded your main app start script in). You don't need the express command line program to launch an express server. It's for setting up new project boilerplate and other ancillary tasks.
To see the version of express running within your app, you can add this code to your server.js (or equivalent) file: console.log(require("express/package").version);
Look at this project to know how to integrate openshift with express4
Its a simple example .
https://github.com/master-atul/openshift-express4
try this
rhc ssh
cd app-root/repo
npm start
also edit the ./bin/www
var port = normalizePort(process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || '8080');
var ip = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP;
if (typeof ip === "undefined") {
// Log errors on OpenShift but continue w/ 127.0.0.1 - this
// allows us to run/test the app locally.
console.warn('No OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP var, using 127.0.0.1');
ip = "127.0.0.1";
};
//app.set('ip', port);
app.set('port', port);
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(port, ip);
server.on('error', onError);
server.on('listening', onListening);
you can follow step:
copy all content bin/www and replace all content in file server.js:
Change some content at server.js:
from
`var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3000');`
to
var port = normalizePort(process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || '3000');
Add line:
var ip = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || '127.0.0.1';
from
server.listen(port);
to
server.listen(port, ip);
Add more to package.json
from
"scripts": {
"start": "node bin/www"
},
to
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js"
},
Add line:
"main": "server.js",
Use npm install --save module-name for npm install
create file .gitignore with content:
node_modules
on local run node server.js to start server with address localhost:3000
upload to openshift:
git add .
git commit -m "First update new server version"
git push
