Server not working

Hello, I tried to set up my server in accordance with the teacher's video, but it doesn't work on port 3000. Can someone please help me? The workspace is https://w.trhou.se/8fxal9y3im Thank you!

That's a "live" workspace URL, and is only temporary. For a persistent one, use the snapshot function (the camera icon).

I tried running your app.js, and once it indicated the server was running, I had no trouble establishing a preview connection. The preview page shows:

Hello World
Goodbye World

And yes, I was using port 3000.

Thanks for your answer, but I am still getting a problem with my computer. Its printing exactly: "Workspace Unavailable

This is a preview link for a Treehouse Workspace that is not currently active.

If you are the workspace owner, you can launch it again via the Treehouse site"

My workspaces are not full, I have just used 50 or 60 out of 100. Could you explain me why?

I can tell you that's the message I see before I run the app.js, but once the app is running I get the page as expected.

How do you get your app to run so that the preview button works?
