Can't debug remotely :(

I've installed a ubuntu 14.04 server over a virtualbox enviroment to follow along the classes, but I got stuck with the node-inspector web debugging. I tried to modify the local address (127.0.0.1) to my remote server (10.0.0.10) but its useless. On github I found that I need to verify if port 8080 is accessible and It is.

I'll apreciate very much if someone could help me on this issue

Thanks! BR

For best results use this command:

node-debug --web-host=10.0.0.10 --debug-port=5656 --web-port=10100

replace '10.0.0.10' with your server ip address ;) and the ports aren't exclusive too

I found it! For any question check this link: https://www.theodo.fr/blog/2015/11/debugging-your-node-js-server-code-in-the-browser/

I used this command to solve my issue:

node-inspector --web-host=10.0.0.10 --debug-port=5656 --web-port=10100 --no-preload
