“Cannot GET /” with Connect on Node.js

Question

I\'m trying to start serving some static web pages using connect like this:

var connect = require(\"connect\");
var nowjs = require(\"now\");
va         


        

Answer 1

This code should work:

var connect = require("connect");

var app = connect.createServer().use(connect.static(__dirname + '/public'));

app.listen(8180);

Also in connect 2.0 .createServer() method deprecated. Use connect() instead.

var connect = require("connect");

var app = connect().use(connect.static(__dirname + '/public'));

app.listen(8180);
