How to configure vagrant to work with node.js

Question

I have problem with running node.js with vagrant.
I have following structure of project:

- public
    - hello.js
- vagrant
    - puphpet
    - Vagrantfile

Here's my puphpet config:

vagrantfile-local:
    vm:
        box: puphpet/debian75-x64
        box_url: E:\vagrant boxes\debian-7.5-x86_64-v1.2-virtualbox.box

Here is hello.js file

var http = require('http');

var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
    response.end("Hello World!");
});
server.listen(3000);

I log to SSH then I go to var/www/public there is file hello.js. I run

node hello.js

I dont get any error/message.

Then I go to 192.168.56.102:3000 and after while I get:
The connection has timed out

Address 192.168.56.102 returns 404 status code, so apache is working.

I tried change host and guest in config.yaml to port 8080 but it didnt work.

Did I do something wrong?

Answer 1

Try removing the forwarded port to 3000 and adding that into the firewall section.
