为什么ec2实例不显示我的网站？ 使用nodejs

Question

I am running a m1.microinstance of aws, using CentOS. I downloaded Yeoman, git, npm and all of the dependencies are present. I am trying to run a MEAN stack on this server, so, mongo, express, angular and node. However, when I visit my public DNS, my site gives me this error: "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ec2-54-191-0-63.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com". On my admin control panel, I see my instance status, and it says it is running. I understand that if I had used apache, the page that displays is in the /var/www/html directory.. So, how do I get a directory similar to apaches, to display my html files, or whatever I would like the public to see? I have my security groups configured, for inbound, to listen to SSH port 22, for everyone, as well as HTTP port 80, for everyone.

Yeoman set up a nice app folder for me, but for some reason it does not display. I thought maybe I was missing a server.js, but that does not seem to have fixed anything when I added it. Any advice? Thanks!

Answer 1

Make sure you are matching the port all the way through - your browsers URL:PORT, the EC2 routing rules and your NodeJS settings. It looks like you might be listening to a port higher than 80 on the server.

As you mentioned in your comment, if you want to listen on a port below 1024 you will need to run the command as a privileged user.

Answer 2

I didn't run node as root on my AWS server, so it was not setting up my nicely built app that Yeoman made for me.
