I have set up vmware workstation, Ubuntu 16.06 desktop as my guest machines, windows 10 as host.
nodejs 9.4.0 express 4.16.2
and simple server HTTP and express:
const http = require('http'),
PORT = 4000;
http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.write('It works!');
res.end();
}).listen(PORT);
console.log("Listening on port " + PORT);
**/
/*** EXPRESS BASED TEST*/
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
PORT = 4000;
app.get('/', (req, res)=>{
res.send("it works!");
})
app.listen(PORT, 'localhost', ()=>{
console.log('Listening on port: ' + PORT)
});
/****/
What happens is, when I try to open test webpage from my host browser when guest runnin express - I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. BUT when i start simple http server - it connects! I tried to connect with telnet, ssh... turn of firewall... behavior is the same...
Is it something wrong with express? Is there a way to fix it?
