Why do I get "Workspace Unavailable"?

I'm using the same code has in the lesson, this one:

var Profile = require("./profile.js");

function homeRoute(request,response){ if(request.url === '/'){ response.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/plain'}); response.write("Header\n"); response.write("Search\n"); response.end("Footer\n"); } }

function userRoute(request,response){ var username = request.url.replace("/",""); if(username.length>0){ response.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/plain'}); response.write("Header\n");

var studentProfile = new Profile(username);

studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON){ var values = { avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url, username: profileJSON.profile_name, badges: profileJSON.badges.length, points: profileJSON.points.JavaScript } response.write(values.username+" has "+values.badges+ " badges \n"); response.end("Footer\n"); }); } }

module.exports.home = homeRoute; module.exports.user = userRoute;

And it runs well, but when I'm adding my name to the address it sends me to "Workspace Unavailable" page, why?

thanks

You need to type 'node app.js' in the console first before previewing it with this or that port. Then keep it running and do not press CTRL+C if you want it to be previewed.
