var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res){ res.send("<h1>I Love Treehouse!</h1>"); });

439 PointsHi Matthew
I egt the following error in the console "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)"
I'm trying to just load the page with the message 'I Love Treehouse!'

node fileName.js
And then going to
localhost:3000

13,599 PointsThe only thing I see that is wrong is that you have a console.log statement right before your app.listen() on the same line. Which would be okay but you don't have a semicolon after it
Other than that, all I can think of is that you are going to the wrong port on your machine.
You should be visiting localhost:3000 in this case.
Also, some ide's can mess up the port number; you can try to run the app from your command/terminal by navigating to the file and running node FileName.js
