Server is running on 8080, but browser says webpage is unavailable
I followed this tutorial (http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/node-js-server-side-javascript/) and when running the next to last script (for creating a static server) the command prompt says "Server running on port 8080", but when trying to access it at localhost:8080 I just get a webpage is unavailable error.
I have made an rule in the firewall to allow access to 8080 as well.
What could be causing this? Should i be trying to access the page from another address?
When I try to access the page i get the following error message in cmd:
C:\Users\id122302\Documents\test.js:11
path.exists(full_path,function(exists)
