I'm trying to write my first node http server. I have got it running on my linux box. If I type the url in the browser. I see the hello world webpage.
myLinuxHostName:1227/
I'm now trying to connect to this linux node server from my windows machine. If I type my in the browser from my windows machine the same url I get webpage not available. I tried pinging my linux host and that worked fine. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the simple http server code that is there on nodejs.org homepage.
If you are using this example:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');
Then only runs using this exactly ip 127.0.0.1 whats mean localhost and the other VHost not reach that server. You must doing something like this.
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337);

127.0.0.1 with myLinuxHostname then it will also work. Your server has many IP addresses.
