So I am trying to get started on a Node App. Right now I am just setting up my server. I am using Node, Express, Handlebars, and MongoDB. So, I have set up my server and it seems to be working fine. It is listening on Port 8080. But when I go to localhost://8080, I am getting an error message: "Localhost refused to connect."
I have tried to change my routing, etc and have had no luck fixing it. I am guessing that it is my router, or maybe how I am trying to render the page. You can see my server.js and routing file here:
var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var methodOverride = require("method-override");
// Our scraping tools
var request = require("request");
var cheerio = require("cheerio");
// Set mongoose to leverage built in JavaScript ES6 Promises
mongoose.Promise = Promise;
// Initialize Express
var app = express();
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
// Use morgan and body parser with our app
// Override with POST having ?_method=DELETE
app.use(methodOverride("_method"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: false
}));
// Make public a static dir
app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.text());
app.use(bodyParser.json({ type: "application/vnd.api+json" }));
// Database configuration with mongoose
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/week18day3mongoose");
var db = mongoose.connection;
// Show any mongoose errors
db.on("error", function(error) {
console.log("Mongoose Error: ", error);
});
// Once logged in to the db through mongoose, log a success message
db.once("open", function() {
console.log("Mongoose connection successful.");
});
// Set Handlebars.
var exphbs = require("express-handlebars");
app.engine("handlebars", exphbs({ defaultLayout: "main" }));
app.set("view engine", "handlebars");
app.listen(function(){
console.log("Server is running and lisening on port: " + port);
});
require("./routes/htmlRoutes.js");
Here is my router:
var express = require("express");
module.exports = function(app) {
router.get("/", function(error,doc){
res.send("Hello World");
});
}
