Disconnect http.createServer method in Node.js

Question

I have a piece of code that uses the server with nodejs, in which there is a method that requires ports running programs then manually disconnected and reconnected to the same port.

but my trouble and not getting what method I use. sample code snippet:

var server = http.createServer(function(r, p){

   // Some Code

});
server.listen( 9999 );
server.on('error', function(e){ /*  */ });

I want to use the same port 9999.

Answer 1

If you want to make the server stop listening on port 9999 you need to call the server.close method.

var http = require("http");

http.createServer(function(request, response) {

  response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
  response.write("Hello World");
  response.end();

}).listen(9999);
