Node.JS Express js not working

[Cooldude100]

I made a server in express.js, Here is the code:

var express = require('express'); var app = express(); app.get('/', (req, res) => { console.log('Ready, and in action!'); res.send(); }) app.listen(443);
It won't send anything to the console. I am using the command prompt. Is there anything wrong?

Hey!

Have you tried visiting localhost:443 in your browser?

The only way I could get it to run through geany was switching to the terminal. I think it's because of a path problem. At least for me anyway.
I had to use another port other than 443. That port is already in use.
I followed the docs her Installing Express

Hi there,
Someone feel free to call me out on this one lol... but from my own experiences working with node inside of Visual Studio, I know for a fact that VS sets default nodejs server port to 1337 (and yes, I am sure Microsoft is fully aware what that particular number represents lol, why they decided to make their IDE set that for a port number to a server is beyond me XD )... might want to try that, or as @menator01 mentioned, use another port number. Below, I have attached a list of common ports and what services they typically run to help you avoid these situations. Hope this helps 🙂
