node.js js file where?

Hello,

im trying to start a node.js server,

but i cant, when i say: node app.js

it just sais: ...

where should i place the file? No one ever said, where i should place the file.

Please someone know it?

That's actually expected behavior...

Node is waiting either for connections, or something else, depending on your code.

So, let's say your code looks like this (a simple hello world http server):

---

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');

---

It actually won't throw anything to the console, it just sits and waits for connections.

If you add a line on the end of the file:

---

console.log('Server running at 127.0.0.1/');

---

It should write the message once you start your server.

Cheers!

thanks, but it still wont work, my file is as simple as this now:

console.log("Hello World");

console.log('Server running at 127.0.0.1/');

and still just ...

i tried it the was you wrote, still just ...

ahhhh... Don't run nodejs.exe. It's just node console, you can use that to test your ideas, or learn node.

To start some .js file in node try:

Open up command line (Start -> cmd) got to the folder where your .js file is, (c:/path/to/my/file) and then try "node myfile.js" command.

This is a forum for Construct 2 questions. If you're trying to get node.js running you should probably ask on a different forum.

Ashley, i know, but i use zack0wack0�s plugin for this, therefor i need a node.js server, so indirect its Contruct 2 question. Lets say its a greyzone ;)

Johnny thanks, now i got it. it finally works :D
