Node.js with express is accessible only via port 80.

Posted on August 25, 2018

Hello, I managed to setup my test app (NODE/Express) on http://178.128.173.30/ but I can access it through http:// only when app.listen(80);

I have opened few other ports in console with sudo ufw allow but none of them working. Am I missing something?

Current sudo ufw status below:

To Action From
22 LIMIT Anywhere
80 ALLOW Anywhere
443 ALLOW Anywhere
Nginx HTTP ALLOW Anywhere
50/tcp ALLOW Anywhere

80/tcp ALLOW Anywhere

But I don’t need Nginx - I use Express. As I wrote above I have set up server successfully. I can’t make app work on other port than 80.

I have read all those before posting here. Thx I will search somewhere else this is pointless :)
