Question

I have the following error while trying to start my node app:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

Full error:

at Object.<anonymous> (/home/node/node_modules/express/lib/express/server.js:87:44)
    at Module._compile (module.js:432:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:450:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:351:31)
    at Function._load (module.js:310:12)

I have noted this previous question on the same error: Express framework giving a very strange error. I tried to install the older version of connect, but this did not work and I received the same error.

Node version: v0.5.9-pre

Answer 1

I solved this by starting from scratch and re-installing node again with an older version 0.4.8.
