I'm attempting to set up my first Node.js application on Windows Server. The application runs fine with the command:
node index.js
It'll run my application on localhost:8000. However, I want it to run on a subdomain on port 80, so I tried the following command:
set PORT=80 && set HOST=api.mydomain.com && node index.js
And here is my index.js file, which handles setting the PORT and HOST in the app.listen command:
import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
const expressJwt = require('express-jwt');
const config = require('./environment.json')[process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'];
const app = express();
const port = +process.env.PORT || 8000;
const host = process.env.HOST || 'localhost';
// Skipping app.use commands...
app.get('/', root);
app.listen(port, host, 34, err => {
if (err) return console.error(err);
return console.log(`Server is listening on ${port}`);
});
Unfortunately, using a subdomain errors:
events.js:187 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.mydomain.com at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:60:26) Emitted 'error' event on Server instance at: at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.doListen [as callback] (net.js:1485:12) at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:60:17) { errno: 'ENOTFOUND', code: 'ENOTFOUND', syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
hostname: 'api.mydomain.com ' }
What is the proper way to configure the Node.js application to run under the subdomain? If I were using IIS it'd be as simple as adding additional Bindings, but now I'm in Node.js land instead so have no idea how to go about it.
