I'm trying to read and display a basic html file with node.js, but i get no luck, since anything i do it returns the same error.

Here's the code

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var url = require('url');

var port = 3000;
fs.readFile('./funckcionalnosti.html', function (err, html) {
if (err) {
    throw err;
}
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
    response.writeHeader(200, { "Content-Type": "text/html" });
    response.write(html);
    response.end();
}).listen(3000);
});

The error i get

I've read some things about node not dealing with temporary files, or that my file may not be within current script...i already tried moving files, tried _dirname and copying the entire path name, but it still won't work.

Any help please?

Why are you creating the http server inside the readFile callback?? – kkaosninja Mar 13 '16 at 10:14

@kkaosninja i don't know, but i don't think that's the issue here – aiden87 Mar 13 '16 at 10:23
@magreenberg using that code, the problem still wont go away – aiden87 Mar 13 '16 at 10:44
That error means a file with that name doesn't exist in the same directory as the script. Did you double check the name and that it's in the same directory? – mscdex Mar 13 '16 at 11:17
yeh. i've managed to solve the problem by first creating new html file again, and then reading it. Dunno how that solved the problem but id did... @mscdex – aiden87 Mar 13 '16 at 11:22
