Question

When I try to open port 80 in node.js using this code (helloWorld)

          var http = require('http');
          var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
          response.writeHead(200);
          response.end("Hello World\n");
          });

          server.listen(80);

but it doesn’t work, only if i give it port 8000 or something else.
since i work under win7 i open the cmd with right click and then run as administrator but it seems it doesn’t run like a root under linux.

Nodejs has a stable release for Windows

This will allow you to run Node.js on Windows without the need to integrate with Apache which is sweet.
