Running node.js code just displays a node identifier

Question

I have the following code in a file called server.js.

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  response.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8124);

console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/');

I use the command prompt and naviage to the folder where the file recides and then the run the command

node server.js

But I don't get the expected output. Instead I get

The node identifier for {My Machine Name} is v2hrfnqaj.

Note: I already have node installed in my machine and it was working fine.
