Need to sudo before starting server in ch01

[ktomazin]

I get the following error when attempting to start the server:
bash-3.2$ node server.js
events.js:85
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: listen EACCES
at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)
at Server._listen2 (net.js:1112:19)
at listen (net.js:1155:10)

The issue is that we are trying to connect on port 80 and you need to sudo on a unix system before doing that:

sudo node server.js

I think very similar issue on Windows machine, although different error. Running from an Administrator command prompt:

node server.js
events.js:154
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: listen EACCESS 0.0.0.0:80

Found item below on SO which suggesting using port >1024. I used port 8080 which solved the problem (specifically, edit line 4 of server.js to be: app.listen(8080);)
