NodeJS w/Express Error: Cannot GET /
express, get, node.js
Solution
You typically want to render templates like this:
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.render('index.ejs');
});
However you can also deliver static content - to do so use:
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
Now everything in the `/public` directory of your project will be delivered as static content at the root of your site e.g. if you place `default.htm` in the public folder if will be available by visiting `/default.htm`
Take a look through the express API and Connect Static middleware docs for more info.
Problem
This is what i have, the filename "default.htm" actually exists and loads when doing a readFile with NodeJS. ``` var express = require('express'); var app = express(); app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/default.htm')); app.listen(process.env.PORT); ``` The Error (in browser): ``` Cannot GET / ```
