Node.JS Set up errors

Me again. I had a network error issue. My expressjs server didnt have the proper host of

'localhost' or better yet '127.0.0.1' 

at

app.listen(port,  () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))

and so even though I could plug the domain name and the port into my browser and even curl and get some data back, internally my client side node app didnt seem to be able to read the correct web address when I said the host to

localhost:8080

Try

netstat -plnt

to see what ports are actually being listened to and try using ‘127.0.0.1’ for all hosts

and try

app.listen(port, '127.0.0.1',  () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))

For anyone having an issue of Network Refused I had to re-enable my firewall with

ufw enable

For whatever reason I think DigitalOcean reset it. Took me two hours. How unprofessional of this company

This will work 100 % – follow this it worked for me …

Hi @gxcn00b

Just to make sure, are you following this guide? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04

When you do the curl command, you need to run it on the server.

About the missing websocket module, you need to install it into Node.js

npm install websocket
