I can no longer access my node.js application. I see thee following behaviours.
1> netstat shows the server listening on the port I expect it to.
2> tcpdump shows traffic from my laptop on the server when I attempt to open the page.
3> When I try to kill the node process with kill -9 or pkill node nothing happens.
I see the pid for the node process is changing continuously as if it was constantly being restarted. I see posts similar to this but none of them have definitive answers.
I have stopped and started the node site as we all restarting the host. Which I don't like doing as a problem resolution as you don't really know what the underlying problem is.
I also don't see an error log for node.
Any advice or guidance on how to determine what the problem is would be appreciated.
