Application Container Gulp + BrowserSync Error $PORT

ilhan_ercan

I have a nodejs project which includes bower, gulp, browser-sync etc. When i deploy my project to application nodejs container it throws that error:

Application failed bind to specified port[env variable $PORT]. Application logs ...

Start:

npm install

bower install

gulp serve:dist

In my configuration file i tried:

browserSync.instance = browserSync.init({   port : 80 //also tried 3000 and nothing it always throw that error.});

Can you help me how can i solve it?

Are you running this in the Application Container Cloud Service? If so, you need to bind to the HTTP port specified via: process.env.PORT

The load balancer will route from the internet facing port, 443 for SSL, to the internal port or ports depending on the number of instances you're running.

A similar problem vexed me with a raw http.listen() for a long time until @danmcghan-Oracle gave me a patch, removing the hostname parameter:

-        .listen(httpPort, "localhost"); 
+        .listen(httpPort);

From my side I had this error because I was not using the proper version of Node JS. On your computer, type "node --version" in the command prompt, and make sure you are using the same version when provisionning your application.
