Changing Node.js listening port

Question

I just installed node.js on Windows. I have this simple code which does not run:

I get: Error: listen EADDRINUSE

Is there a config file that tells node.js to listen on a specific port?

The problem is I have Apache listening on port 80 already.

EDIT:

var http = require('http');  var url = require('url');   http.createServer(function (req, res) {   console.log("Request: " + req.method + " to " + req.url);   res.writeHead(200, "OK");   res.write("<h1>Hello</h1>Node.js is working");   res.end();  }).listen(5454);  console.log("Ready on port 5454"); 

Answer 1

There is no config file unless you create one yourself. However, the port is a parameter of the listen() function. For example, to listen on port 8124:

var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) {   res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});   res.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(8124, "127.0.0.1"); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/'); 

If you're having problems finding a port that's open, you can go to the command line and type:

netstat -ano
