How do I catch node.js/express server errors like EADDRINUSE?

Question

This is my code.

if !module.parent
    try
        hons_server.listen config.port
        console.log \'Listening to port \' + config.port
    catch err
             


        

Answer 1

Listen for the error event on the server isntance

hons_server.on 'error', (err) ->
    console.log 'there was an error:', err.message
