I'm currently running a node project where I'm using port 3000 for my localhost and it seems that at the time that I'm running "npm start" it doesn't do anything.

I'm currently using windows, and I ran the following command to kill any activity under this port:

 npx kill-port 3000

This is what it does after I run "npm start":

PS C:\Users\alanharo\Desktop\nodejs_mongo_docker> npm start

> nodejs-mongo-docker@0.0.0 start C:\Users\alanharo\Desktop\nodejs_mongo_docker   
> node ./bin/www

package.json:

{
  "name": "nodejs-mongo-docker",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/www"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "cookie-parser": "~1.4.4",
    "debug": "~2.6.9",
    "express": "~4.16.1",
    "http-errors": "~1.6.3",
    "jade": "~1.11.0",
    "morgan": "~1.9.1"
  }
}

Does anyone knows any other solution to this problem?

What does the `scripts` section in your `package.json` look like? I assume `"start": "node ./bin/www"`. What's `./bin/www`? – Kelvin Schoofs Aug 06 '21 at 19:25
what does this have to do with `powershell`? – Lee_Dailey Aug 06 '21 at 19:40
This was setup by itself as soon as I ran npx express-generator – Hvaandres Aug 06 '21 at 19:41
as Kelvin mentioned, show us the `package.json` file – John Marshall Aug 06 '21 at 19:42
try this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32772292/starting-express-js-using-app-js-or-npm-start. You might not have set your express server to `app.listen(3000)` – John Marshall Aug 06 '21 at 19:46
try adding a "main" property in your package.json: `"main": "index.js",` and call your npm start like this: `"start": "node index.js"` I can't say that this will work as there is not a lot to go on. – Basile Aug 06 '21 at 20:00
