Node.js server is not responding

Question

I use NODE.js and Express (express generator) to create a website. I had a good job yesterday afternoon, but I think I changed something and now it doesn’t work. My firewall is turned off.

I get the following on my console.

C:\website>node bin/www Listening on 8080 Get / - - ms - - Get / - - ms - - Get / - - ms - - 

Each of these Get / - - ms - - happens every time I try to go to 127.0.0.1:8080

Here is my bin / www file:

 #!/usr/bin/env node var debug = require('debug')('test'); var app = require('../app'); app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 8080); var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() { console.log("Listening on " + server.address().port); debug('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port); }); 

And my app.js:

 var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var favicon = require('serve-favicon'); var logger = require('morgan'); var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var routes = require('./routes/index'); var users = require('./routes/users'); var app = express(); // view engine setup app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')); app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); // uncomment after placing your favicon in /public app.use(logger('dev')); app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); app.use(cookieParser()); app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); app.use('/', routes); app.use('/users', users); // catch 404 and forward to error handler app.use(function(req, res, next) { var err = new Error('Not Found'); err.status = 404; next(err); }); // error handler // production error handler app.use(function(err, req, res, next) { res.status(err.status || 500); console.log(err); }); module.exports = app;

This behavior may result from incorrectly defined routes. Your routes should follow the following pattern:

 var express = require('express'); var router = express.Router(); /* GET home page. */ router.get('/', function(req, res) { res.render('index', { title: 'Express' }); }); module.exports = router;
