sailsjs returns http code 426 when using a host name

Question

While using SailsJS locally (using localhost everything works fine) but if I switch to a hostname (127.0.0.1 defined in the hosts file). I get http code 426 .

Here is the error that I get: Http 426

Not sure how the usage of websockets are relevant to the host name.

Answer 1

Seems like the HTTP 426 error code was caused by the default 1337 port already assigned to different process. (in my case it was Razer's rzsdkserver service:) ).

If you are using SailsJS locally AND using a Razer mouse, make sure you update the default port of SailsJS: https://blog.sailscasts.com/how-to-specify-a-different-sails-port/
