Node.js: ECONNREFUSED on Port 80

Question

I\'ve written a web-server using Node.js. When I tried to test my server with the tester I\'ve written for it, I succeed only if the port I\'m using for the server is not 80

Answer 1

An alternate option that I haven't seen in the above list is also to permit your process to bind to a privileged port (<1024) by executing the following command on the node executable. (Adapt the path)

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /opt/meteor/.meteor/tools/latest/bin/node

The annoyance is that you must reissue this command every time you update or change the node executable.
