Asked by vikramkh
I span up a node.js droplet, cloned my git repo and did an npm install then an npm start. I got the message:
Server is running at http://[::1]:3000 Try http://[::1]:3000/ping
If I ping the droplet IP address (ping <dropletIPAddress>) from the terminal, I get a response, but if I try go to the <dropletIpAddress>:3000, I get “This site can’t be reached”. What could be wrong?

Check if your Application is actually running:

Additionally, check if your firewall allows connections on port 3000.
