Trying to run in production and getting this error. Tried finding a solution:

  • killing all nodes or

I assume you're listening on the port 80.

The TCP/IP port numbers below 1024 are special in that normal users are not allowed to run servers on them.

There are several ways to solve this

1] Change the listening port greater that 1024,usually node server runs on 8080.

2] Run the server with root priviledge sudo node app.js
