Hi everyone, I’m learning about javascript. While working, I try start Node server. As a result, I get the message:

embah@devsertwo:~/node/nodeapp$ node app.js
 fs.js:640
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
  ^
 
 Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/embah/node/nodeapp/config/c

What can I do about the “error: enoent: no such file or directory” issue? Is there a better approach?

enoent no such file or directory

    The cause:

    The error happens because your app wants to find a file in  /home/embah/node/nodeapp/config/config.json, but the file doesn’t exist (which is ENOENT).

    Solution:

    This error can be fixed by creating the directory structure expected or configuring your app so that it searches in the correct directory for config.json.

    Another way to solve your problem is checking whether the file path is correct in angular.json file or not:

    "scripts": [
"node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"
],

    Then press crtl+c and run the project again.

  2. After reading through so many threads and links, and becoming frustrated over and again, I decided to go back to basics. It worked. It was all I did. 

    npm install

    It might be helpful to someone, I don’t know.
