I’ve mariadb installed on my VDS with Centos 7.
I’ve installed mysql npm package:

npm i mysql

Yet requesting that package with

var mysql = require('mysql');

has not provided to the successful connection.
While

var mysql = require('mariadb');

has done.

var mysql = require('mariadb');

var con = mysql.createConnection({
  host: "localhost",
  user: "admin_default",
  password: "xxxxxx",
  database: 'admin_default'
}).then(function (){
   console.log('connected!');
}, function(err){
   console.log(err);
});
//console.log(con);

Problem

I’ve made a simple node.js server at VDS:

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  let port = 9999; 
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(post, '0.0.0.0');
console.log('Server running at port ' + port);

It works outputting:

Server running at port 9999

yet I can’t reach it at VPS/VDS IP where the code is residing: http://webscraping.pro:9999/ How to solve that?
