javascript - node.js server not running - Stack Overflow

I am trying to learn node.js, but I'm having trouble getting the simple server to run on localhost:8888.

Here is the code for server.js:

var http = require("http");

http.createServer(function(request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello World");
response.end();
}).listen(8888);

server.js runs without errors, and trying netstat -an | grep 8888 from terminal returns

tcp4       0      0  *.8888                 *.*                    LISTEN

However, when I go to localhost:8888 in a browser, it says that it cannot be found.

I've looked at all the related questions, and nothing has worked so far. I've tried different ports, etc. I know that my router blocks ining traffic on port 8888, but shouldn't that not matter if I'm trying to access it locally? I've run tomcat servers on this port before, for example. Thanks so much for your help!

• 1 have you tried 127.0.0.1:8888? – eis Commented Jun 7, 2012 at 16:49
• Works for me. Did you perhaps enter a wrong URL? – Florian Salihovic Commented Jun 7, 2012 at 16:49
• 1 are you running a software firewall? Does this url work in your browser: http://127.0.0.1? – agent-j Commented Jun 7, 2012 at 16:50
• another thing that occurred to my mind - if your browser is using a proxy that doesn't have an exception rule for local addresses, it may be trying to access it with a proxy. You could try to telnet to that port. – eis Commented Jun 7, 2012 at 16:50
• how can you say it works for you? – Esailija Commented Jun 7, 2012 at 16:51

This code works--I just tried it and navigated to localhost:8888 and saw the expected output.

It's possible that you have a firewall that's too restrictive or you have a bad install of Node.js.
