Hi,

I tried running the test.js but I keep getting the error below. I’ve run npm install connect, and also npm install mime.

Thanks for your time.

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or ‘error’ event on first tick
^
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘prototype’ of undefined

@Pilot, try doing npm install socket.io again. Might fix it.

I just Installed node.js v0.6.10 on windows through msi installer. I can access node from anywhere on command prompt. I have installed socket.io through npm. now the problem is, in my code has var io = require(‘socket.io’); when i try to run that file, getting – Error: Cannot find module ‘socket.io’. how can I fix this without changing the code?

oops, got cut off:

c:\home\nrutta\www> express app
resolving path “c:\home\nrutta\www\app” …

Note that the above is a console.log message I put into mkdirp. So my questions are:

1. is this supposed to work on windows xp?
2. I’m assuming this should be run from a dos shell (for example?)
3. has anyone else seen this problem, and do I possibly have something
messed up on my system (I do have cygwin installed).

Any help will be appreciated.
