  <pre><code>    app.get('/',function(request,response){

  <p>The error is</p>
  
  <pre><code>  This 127.0.0.1 page can’t be found
  
  No webpage was found for the web address: http://127.0.0.1:5000/home

  <p>I dont think the server is getting the <code>get</code> request. I don't see the <code>console.log()</code> getting called.</p>
  
  <p>The entire code:</p>
