Access nodejs application from URL on VPS

I have a VPS running apache on CentOS 6.5. I'm currently writing a node application to run on port 1234.

My question is that, how to access the node application via URL. Like http://IP_ADDRESS:1234 or http://MYDOMAIN:1234?

It was not actually a node issue. It was a firewall that was blocking all requests to the port 1234.

I found that advanced policy firewall (APF) was installed on my machine. All I had to do to allow connections to the required port is to edit APF config file located in /etc/apf/conf.apf.

Then add the required ports to the variable IG_TCP_CPORTS=

Finally, restart APF to apply effects

$ /usr/local/sbin/apf -r
