I was having the same problem. Previously, I named the folder as json-server (same as the package name) I changed the folder name and installed the package globally using npm install -g json-server It works perfectly fine now

Made the same mistake using VS Code. Entered in terminal->>

$ json-server --watch data/db.json <<-

Got the classic ->>

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'data/db.json' <<-

Simple fix was to realize I needed to add the parent folder name in the terminal ->>

$ json-server --watch folder-name/data/db.json <<-

This opened a local host to my db.json file ->>

http://localhost:3000/projects <<-

Hope this helps someone that made the same simple mistake I did.

I too got this issue. while working on a frontend project(vue).
I don't know why it happens but I found a way around / solution.

go to your pakage.json file. go to "scripts" and add 

   "scripts": {
     "fakeDB":"json-server --watch db.json"
 },

you can change "fakeDB" to what ever you want and "json-server --watch " is used to run your json db file in my case its db.json
