Still getting "Cannot GET /" and can't load the static pages

I successfully navigated to the last 30 seconds of the video but unfortunately was not able to properly serve the files from the "public" folder. I've checked my code against the project downloads and it doesn't seem to be a code error. Any ideas?

Your post isn't tied to any specific course topic. Can you elaborate on which video you are referring to and post some code?

Whoops--that's strange. It's the Setting Up an Express Application video in the new MEAN Application course.

Make sure you're running the server from the project's root directory with node src/app.js, not within the src/ directory. If that isn't the issue, post your app.js file so we can take a look.
