Nodejs Server Creation not running

Question

iam very new to nodejs. I found difficult with this server creation program

var http =  require("http");
function onRequest(request, response) {
console.log("Request received.");
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello World");
response.end();
}

http.createServer(onRequest).listen();

Answer 1

You have to mention the port number to listen.

Your code has to have aport number in the listen.

http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8080);

The port number 8080 was already in use....So i used

another port number like 8083....It works...
