Error: Cannot find module 'ejs'

Question

Here is my complete error:

Error: Cannot find module \'ejs\'
    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:317:11)
    at Function._load (module.js:262:25)
            


        

Answer 1

I ran into this problem after I forgot to install ejs before the first time I ran my app. For some reason ejs was not being seen after installing it later. I found a quick, clean, and effective solution to this problem which was to reinstall express by running npm uninstall express then npm install express in the local directory before restarting the server.
