[majds]

Hello, my node js server is not working even tho i set my app.js, installed all npms and waited for 2 hours. it always shows a file path and a file(getting started) whenever I access my domain. i tried to restart it several times also but it still shows the index for the files in the system

This user got help over Discord and it seems the issue is resolved. 🙂 

For others reading this: We strongly recommend following the Node.js tutorial in our Wiki to get a Node app up and running, and then you can build the rest of your app using the recommended structure. Following this guide will also ensure your Node app uses Passenger, which is a server feature that'll help try to keep your account load within the account load limits. Unfortunately Node uses a lot of server resources, and is a common reason that users get their accounts suspended for high server usage. 

As well, changes to Node.js settings (like changing version number, for example) can take up to 2 hours to start working, as they require an Apache server restart, which happens every 2 hours.
