The EACCES error when running http.Server.listen() usually occurs when your application tries to bind to a port that requires elevated privileges or is already in use.

On most operating systems (especially UNIX-like systems such as macOS and Linux), ports below 1024 (e.g., port 80 or 443) require elevated privileges (root) to bind to. If you're trying to bind to one of these ports, you'll get an EACCES error unless you run the command with elevated privileges.


Use a non-privileged port, such as 3000 or 8080, like this:


server.listen(3000);

This avoids the need for elevated privileges and resolves the EACCES error.
