I'm trying to create a node.js header for a website I'm working on from a video, but no matter how much the video [this video] claimed to be simple, I cannot fiqure out what I'm doing wrong const http = require('http'); const fs = require("fs"); const port = 3000; const server = http.createServer(function(req, res) { res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' }) fs.readFile('Header.html', function(error, data) { if(error) { res.writeHead(404) res.write('Error: Header not found') } else { res.write(data) } res.end() }) }) server.listen(port, function(error) { if(error) { console.log("Something went wrong: " + error); } else { console.log("Server is up and running on port " + port); } })

I was following this tutorial [this video] and my code looks exactly the samein the part at 5:00 yet it doesnt work. Here's my code const http = require('http') const port = 3000 const server = http.createServer(function(req, res){ res.write('Hello Node') res.end }) server.listen(port, function(error){ if(error){ console.log("Error: " + error) } else { console.log("Server is listening on port " + port) } }) I tried using a different browser but nothing changed.
