Node.js apps
If you're running into issues with your own custom application, you can verify that the Node.JS service is running and operational by following this guide to create a basic 'Hello World' app.
Due to limited support and documentation for the Node Selector provided by cPanel/CloudLinux, we cannot provide any support beyond ensuring a simple demo application works under your account. This means that your application setup, installing required modules etc.. all fall outside of our support scope. For production Node applications, we would recommend a non-cPanel VPS.
- Login to your cPanel account.
- Navigate to the 'Software' section:
- Click 'Setup Node.js App'
- On the top-right click 'Create Application'
- Change the 'Application root' to 'helloworld'
- Change 'Application URL' to 'helloworld'
- Click 'CREATE' at the top right-right
- You should now be able to browse to the test site via `https://youdomain.tld/helloworld`
- If this works, then the node service is functioning correctly on the server.
