User route not working

I am working on this course locally using MAMP sever, and I am not able to get the user route to work.

When I run node app.js in the console, and got to localhost:3306, the Header, Search, and Footer come up just fine.

When I type localhost:3306/chalkers, the browser says 'waiting on local host'.

Is there something I'm missing by not using workspaces?

Hi Trevor. Sounds like node is just working fine. In the link below you can find my code on this exercise: https://w.trhou.se/0frk1d99z5

This doesn't answer your question whether there is something different in workspaces compared to your localhost. However you can look into the code and see if something in the code is different compared to yours.

Don't know if I can help, but if you can post your code I'll be glad to look into it.

Hey Bobby, your project really helped me out on more than one occasion.

Thanks!
