Question

I just installed my node.js app in a windows micro instance with security group quick-start and with http port enabled.

I opened the firewall in the instance and opened port 80, 443 for inbound and outbound both.

In spite of that, my http requests are not being honored by the node.js app.
From log I see that the app is connected to redis and mongo and socket.io is also started.

What’s wrong ? why http requests are blocked ?

Finally found the problem.

I introduced log4js and integrated this with express, as,

app.use(log4js.connectLogger(logger, { level: log4js.levels.ERROR }));

This created the problem. Somehow this was failing. Looks like it works only with DEBUG. After commenting this, it started working. Strange !!
