I am trying to run node-inspector on amazon AWS. Through a series of different answers on the web and many hours later I have followed these steps:

  1. npm install -g node-inspector

  2. ran "node-inspector" from the aws server

    Got Back:
    Node Inspector v0.12.5 Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?ws=127.0.0.1:8080&port=5858 to start debugging.

  3. from my computer ran " ssh -i mypemkey.pem -L username@amazonhost

  4. ran node --debug myapp from the server

    Got Back:
    Debugger Listening on port 5858

  5. The url I expected to work did not but i finally got this
    127.0.0.1:5858/?ws=127.0.0.1:5858&port5858

    To return This

    Type:Connect
    v8-Version:3.28.71.19
    Protocol-Version: 1
    Embedding-Host: node v0.12.7
    Content-Length: 0

I think I am close. I do not understand how the debugger works exactly. What am I missing here?

Thank You for any insight.

The problem was with the order of operations and the wrong ssh information Step by Step to get node-inspector working on amazon aws and probably most servers.
nodejs v0.12.7
node-inspector v.0.12.5

1.(on the server) - npm install -g node-inspector --save
2.(from my local command window) - ssh -i [YourPemKey.pem] -L 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 username@amazonDNS
3.(on the server) - node-inspector 3. Results in: Node Inspector v0.12.5 Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?ws=127.0.0.1:8080&port=5858
4. (on the server in a separate console) node --debug myApp.js

Go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/?ws=127.0.0.1:8080&port=5858
