Private Message with node.js issues setting up
I had problems too. On line 3, for some reason using localhost never worked for me. Change line 3 to

"host":"panduh420.com",


Also, if your server has a firewall, make sure port 8989 is open.

Also, if you are not going to use https, then you don't need a key or cert.

here is mine

backendSettings = {
  "scheme":"http",
  "host":"mywebsite.com",
  "port":8080,
  "key":"/path/to/key/file",
  "cert":"/path/to/cert/file",
  "resource":"/socket.io",
  "publishUrl":"publish",
  "serviceKey":"",
  "backend":{
  "port":80,
  "host":"mywebsite.com",
  "messagePath":"/nodejs/message"},
  "clientsCanWriteToChannels":false,
  "clientsCanWriteToClients":false,
  "extensions":"",
  "debug":false,
  "transports":["websocket",
