I am having a similar problem, and havent been able to resolve it yet.

But as per my reading, from various sources you need to:

1. Either update your package.json to include the dependencies for all the middleware like:

    "dependencies": {
                      "express": "*",
                      "body-parser": "*",
                      "method-override": "*",
                     .
                     .
                     .  
                   }  

   or you can just run each one separately on the command prompt as

   npm install body-parser --save-dev

   You will have to do this for the middleware that you use out of the short list shown here or the complete list here.

   As far as I can make out, in your code, you are using: body-parser, method-override, static and errorhandler.

2. You will have to remove the line:

    app.use(app.router); 

   as described here

As I said, I am also, working on it. I suggest you make the changes, and tell me if the error on the console changes.
