recently I installed Nodejs on Windows 7 and it was working perfectly. Few days ago it stops running well, for example: if I write "node C:/dir/.../server.js" the console shows: "..." and do nothing.

I have checked the 80 port and it is free, can you please help me?

• javascript
• node.js
• websocket

• You're currently in the Node shell trying to execute JavaScript code which isn't JavaScript (... means you have a syntax error). – pimvdb Commented Jan 8, 2012 at 20:20

Don't enter node<enter> first. Also, you need quotes. When you've opened cmd, directly type node "C:\Users\Us Navy\...".

When you run the node executable without arguments it opens a repl useful for quick tinkering.

To run a file provide the file as the first argument.
