Answer 1

While creating setup for www.spotdekho.com in new windows10 machine, I was unable to run command "nodemon web.js" due same error

"Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'"

Got it fixed by below steps :

1. Create folder "Release" inside "node_modules\bson\build\" location
2. Copy bson.js from "node_modules\bson\browser_build\"
3. Paste bson.js inside "node_modules\bson\build\Release" folder.

This will resolve the issue.

PS : I am using mongoose version 4.8.8 .

Thanks :) , hope it helps someone .
