node.js - Node Net refuses connection no matter what on learnyounode -

i continuously following error:

✗ error connecting localhost:20496: connect econnrefused

note: local host number changing.

on cloud9.ide error happens before timeout, , on my computer error happens after timeout. (it happens in both areas think it's local host problem)

the code i'm using follows:

var net = require('net'); function zero(i) {   return (i < 10 ? '0' : '') + i; } function () {   var d = new date();   return d.getfullyear() + '-' + zero(d.getmonth()) + '-'     + zero(d.getdate()) + ' ' + zero(d.gethours()) + ':'     + zero(d.getminutes()); }  var server = net.createserver(function (socket) {     socket.error(function(){         console.log("error");     });   socket.end("found:"+now() + '\n'); }).listen(8000); 

i don't understand why net module doesn't work , http module did. feel has port being listened to, changed 3306 , there no differences in output.

i believe i'm running latest version of node , learnyounode, , os widnows7.

versions:

• npm:2.11.2
• node:0.12.5

could try (taken docs) , post results:

var net = require('net'); var server = net.createserver(function(c) { //'connection' listener   console.log('client connected');   c.on('end', function() {     console.log('client disconnected');   });   c.write('hello\r\n');   c.pipe(c); }); server.listen(8124, function() { //'listening' listener   console.log('server bound'); }); 

and test this:

telnet localhost 8124 

to listen on socket /tmp/echo.sock third line last changed to

server.listen('/tmp/echo.sock', function() { //'listening' listener

use nc connect unix domain socket server:

nc -u /tmp/echo.sock
