canvasengine Tiled_server Error: ENOENT, open './map.json'

Question

This is my problem: I try start Canvasengine example server and I get this error.

root@vps185158:/# node /var/www/canvas/canvasengine/examples/tiled_server/server/server.js

Error: ENOENT, open './map.json'
    at Error (native)

map.json is there, but nodejs can't find that file.

Server have Debian 7, nodejs, Socket.io and CanvasEngine 1.3.0

Looking at the code, you should either copy map.json to your working directory (which seems to be /, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend that) or start the server from its respective directory:

$ cd /var/www/canvas/canvasengine/examples/tiled_server/server/
$ node server

(although this may require setting $NODE_PATH)
