Connection timeout on Node.js app
Hi,
I followed this tutorial to setup a node.js app on my CentOS:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-run-a-node-js-app-on-centos-6-4-64bit
and I can confirm the node.js is correctly configured by:
$ node -v
v0.10.28
after running my app on the server on port 8080:
$node app.js
I cannot get access to it on my browser (e.g. http://ADDRESS:8080/?data=123 , it returns "Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".
However, the same app.js code runs fine on my local machine, is there anything I am missing?
The server address is reachable when using "ping"
Thanks.
I seem to have the same problem. The interesting thing is that it was working after creating the droplet, but stopped about 24hrs after creation of the droplet.
$ node -v gives a result, ping and tracert to my IP work, curl however does not.
I will try the suggestion below. Edit: tried a simpl http-server ($ npm install http-server), same result.
Thx.
