Question

How do I serve static files with express over cloudfoundry?
I was trying to use the following code:

app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/www'));

but I am getting some bizarre exception when I am accessing the specific url:

TypeError: Object #<SendStream> has no method 'on'

I’v got this wrong too,and i found the answer;
you can do this :

1st
vmc delete yourapp

2nd vmc push yourapp --runtime node08

maybe you choose the wrong varsion of the Node runtime (node04,node06) at the 1st time you push the app to cloud ,and the server remember your choice.
