events.js:160 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Question

I think I did something and broke node. I have tried changing paths, but don't really know what I'm doing and don't want to make the problem worse. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling node all to no avail. Any help or ideas would be great.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

[nodemon] 1.11.0

      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Answer 1

I was too getting this error.

I read all the answers here in stackoverflow, nothing worked out. A lot of the answers mentions that you go to PATH variable and add "C:\Windows\System32\"

I did that too. It didn't worked out at first. What you have to do is to add the above in the User Variables > PATH > add "C:\Windows\System32\"

After that change the port number and then restart your system.

For me doing the above steps solved the problem.

Found out I was setting the port twice, once in app.js and once in .bin/www so after commenting one out it now deploys successfully! So i was just being a melon. Hope this helps someone else!
