This is what I don't understand..."Run node helloworld_server.js in your terminal. " .. What Terminal? I have a linux host, whm and cpanel. – Satch3000 Nov 20 '11 at 09:39
It refers to the Terminal on your local machine assuming you are on Unix/Mac – pradeek Nov 20 '11 at 10:22
But I don't so what can I do to get this done on my host online? – Satch3000 Nov 20 '11 at 11:10
Have you installed nodejs on your server? – pradeek Nov 20 '11 at 11:51
Yes, the host support installed it for me. – Satch3000 Nov 20 '11 at 12:56

You'll have to have shell access on the host to run this command. In cpanel, take a look here: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/ShellAccess

Once you have access to the shell, then you need to cd to the directory where your helloworld_server.js file is and run that command.
