Hey folks !
Just completed the tutorial on "Manage Packages with npm", have a couple of follow up questions, hope some experts here can enlighten me. Here goes :
In the Login (Step 02) of how-to-npm, I ran "npm adduser"in my C9 environment to create an user without specifying registry. According to npm documentation, this => registry defaults to https://registry.npmjs.org/
However, I am seeing .npmrc in my C9 workspace has the registry set to http://localhost:15443/
I also noted the "how-to-npm" instruction has this
Because this is just a tutorial adventure, remember, we're not
*actually* creating an account anywhere. However, when you run
this in the Real World, it'll create a real account, with a page
on npmjs.com and the ability to publish packages that real live
humans can install and enjoy.
Q1 - how do I run "npm adduser" in real world to create a real account with a page on npmjs.com ? What caused the registry in the tutorial to set to http://localhost:15443/ ?
In the Publish (Step 08) of "how-to-npm", when I ran the command "npm view " without first checking the relevant files of the package into github. I got the following error -
npm ERR! code ECONNREFUSED
npm ERR! errno ECONNREFUSED
npm ERR! syscall connect
npm ERR! Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:15443
npm ERR! at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:907:11)

npm ERR! code: 'ECONNREFUSED',

npm ERR! port: 15443 }
npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the

Q2 - From the debug log, I know the error was caused by the registry set to http://localhost:15443/ , I checked port 15443 is listening, why did I get connection refused and how do I get around this error ?
audt:~/workspace (master) $ netstat -na |grep 15443
tcp6 0 0 :::15443 :::* LISTEN
Thanks !
p.s. - after I checked in all the relevant files of the package to github, the "npm view " command ran fine.
