I am attempting to upload a simple Node?JS app onto elastic beanstalk. All dependencies are listed in my package.json file and the app is listening on 8081 through nginx proxy.

The following error is being thrown from the node log file. Are the modules placed differently on the server ?

• Use require('./FtseData') instead of require('./routes/FtseData') if FTseData is in routes folder, and routes.js is also in same routes folder – Santosh Commented Jun 4, 2017 at 14:04
• routes.js is in the root folder with server.js. FtseData.js is located in /routes folder. If i had the path wrong it wouldnt work on my local machine, but it does – user2202098 Commented Jun 4, 2017 at 14:22
• i had to put the file extension on require statement. require('./routes/FtseData'); to be require('./routes/FtseData.js'); – user2202098 Commented Jun 4, 2017 at 17:42

1 Answer 1

My file was /routes/FtseData.js

This caused the error

var ftseDataCtrl = require('./routes/FTSEData');

Case needed to match file

var ftseDataCtrl = require('./routes/FtseData');
