Unless behavior of console.log was altered, node will output console.log logs to the application's standard output (stdout). If you are running your node application in a console or using ssh, you should see the logs there. Otherwise, try redirecting the stdout of your application to a file so you can see it even if you run it without a console, in this way: node myapp.js > logfile

A preferred way would be to user Forever to make sure you application is constantly on and there you can redirect your output (both stdout and stderr) as follows:

/>forever -o forever.out -e forever.err myapp.js
