This is my server.js
file:
var express = require('express'), app = express(); app .use(express.static('./public')) .get('*',function (req,res) { res.sendfile('/public/main.html'); }) .listen(3000);

res.sendfile('./main.html');
To answer the question in the comments : In Express 4.x, the sendfile

method (all lowercase -> camelCase). Probably just an oversight in early versions, that got fixed in the latter.
