Connection timed out on Node.js app running under CentOS
- by ss1271
I followed this tutorial to create a simple node.js app on my CentOS:
the node.js version is:
$ node -v
v0.10.28
Here's my app.js:
// Include http module,
var http = require("http"),
// And url module, which is very helpful in parsing request parameters.
url = require("url");
// show message at console
console.log('Node.js app is running.');
// Create the server.
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
request.resume();
// Attach listener on end event.
request.on("end", function () {
// Parse the request for arguments and store them in _get variable.
// This function parses the url from request and returns object representation.
var _get = url.parse(request.url, true).query;
// Write headers to the response.
response.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
});
// Send data and end response.
response.end('Here is your data: ' + _get['data']);
});
// Listen on the 8080 port.
}).listen(8080);
However, when I uploaded this app onto my remote server (assume the address is 123.456.78.9), I couldn't get access to it on my browser
http://123.456.78.9:8080/?data=123
The browser returned Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
I tried the same app.js code which runs fine on my local machine, is there anything I am missing?
I tried to ping the server and its address was reachable.
Thanks.
