I'm using the tutorial found here: http://addyosmani.github.io/backbone-fundamentals/#create-a-simple-web-server and added the following code.

// Module dependencies.

var application_root = __dirname,

express = require( 'express' ), //Web framework

path = require( 'path' ), //Utilities for dealing with file paths

mongoose = require( 'mongoose' ); //MongoDB integration



//Create server

var app = express();



// Configure server

app.configure( function() {

//parses request body and populates request.body

app.use( express.bodyParser() );



//checks request.body for HTTP method overrides

app.use( express.methodOverride() );



//perform route lookup based on url and HTTP method

app.use( app.router );



//Where to serve static content

app.use( express.static( path.join( application_root, 'site') ) );



//Show all errors in development

app.use( express.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack: true }));

});



//Start server

var port = 5000;

app.listen( port, function() {

console.log( 'Express server listening on port %d in %s mode', port, app.settings.env );

});

After starting the server with node server.js I'm getting an error stating Cannot GET / when I access localhost:5000 and I just wondered if anyone knew much about this error as Express and Node are new to me?
