Hi guys, I'm very interested in getting to work a node.js application. The installing instructions are here. So what I'm doing: (markdown numbered list seems not to work here, sorry) 1. Adding a new application with Node.js 2. Attaching a website to it, eg log.mydomain.com 3. Connecting via SSH to the application folder 4. Installing express, and express-antenna-cocoalumberjack 5. From applications directory run bin/node node_modules/express-antenna-cocoalumberjack/app.js 6. It says "Listening to port 3205", which seems like there are no errors 7. Try to test it by typing log.mydomain.com:3205/ping - I get "Failed to open the page" error in browser. I also tried it with IP: 81.95.157.171:3205/ping and get the same error. What am I missing here? Some could help me to install this application on Webfaction? asked 22 Dec '15, 15:55 nrgbodya |

The problem is that you have not started your app on its assigned port. To fix this, make a note of the port assigned to your Node application in the control panel, then run the following command before you start the app: (replace NNNNN with your assigned port). When you start the app, you'll see "Listening on port NNNNN", and you'll be able to test it at log.mydomain.com/ping (note that the port number is not included in the URL). Hope that helps! Please let us know if you need anything else. answered 22 Dec '15, 20:08 seanf Hi Sean, thank you for answering, you're being really helpful. I did it in fact, and I got nodejs Error: listen EADDRINUSE when trying to start the app. I've googled it and found that killing a process on that port would help, but I'm not sure if I am permitted to kill processes in order not to cause any bigger damage. Any ideas how to resolve this?
