Working with express

By default express and ejs are installed on the server. To use express there is a global variable named app. Do not create a new instance of express but use this global variable instead.

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); app.get('/' function(req, res) { res.status(200).send('I dream of being a web site.'); });

Do not call the listen function on the app object. Your express server will be configured to listen after a parse server instance is created.

If you are using a different template engine such as jade. This module will likely be referenced from your cloud > node_modules folder. However at runtime, node.js will not be able resolve the jade module under your cloud > node_modules folder. To solve this, navigate to app actions > environment variables and set the variable name "NODE_PATH" and the variable value "/bundle/cloud/node_modules". When the "NODE_PATH" variable is set, node.js will resolve the jade dependency under your cloud > node_modules folder.
