Answer 1

If you are under Windows, create a new site in your local IIS (you should enable IIS in Windows components if not already) to your project folder. Then open http://localhost:8080 (or other port you can setup in the ISS for your new site)

Answer 2

Well this is what i had to do if it helps anyone in the future at all. This is all basic stuff but i am beginner so here we go. Open command prompt. Go to the destination of your project( where the index.js file is ) and write:

$ npm init -y
$ npm install -g express-generator
$ npm install express -S
$ npm install connect -S
$ npm install serve-static -S

then go to the destination of your server.js file and write

$ node server.js

After this i could run my page in browser typing http://localhost:8080/ in the URL.

Answer 3
