Answer 1

It looks like you followed an out of date tutorial. The Node API has since changed. Try this example:

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
  response.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1331);

console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1331/');
