在我的服务器上部署Node js应用程序

Question

I'm trying to learn node js. I have a basic "hello world" running on localhost with this code :

require('http').createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');}).listen(1337, "127.0.0.1");

Now I'm trying to deploy it on a server I got from someone to fiddle around on with node.js installed on.

How do I get "hello world" to appear on my page: thomas.sitestatus.nl? I have checked multiple tutorials and I still haven't find a solution.

Here is some basic steps you can follow to run your application on the server.

1) Copy your project to the server. Install npm modules if needed.

2) Then start the application on some port like 3000 (Later you can use nginx to map it to port 80)

3) After that when you enter thomas.sitestatus.nl:3000 in your browser, you will see "Hello World". If you configure nginx, entering thomas.sitestatus.nl will show "Hello World".

Feel free to ask if you have doubts or questions.
