Error starting node server

Question

I get the following error when trying to start a node server. It looks like it is related to combohandler that was installed using node package manager (npm).

Can anyone help please?

TypeError: Object function app(req, res){ app.handle(req, res); } has no method 'error'
    at /Repository/combo/node_modules/combohandler/lib/server.js:23:9
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Repository/combo/server.js:8:7)
    at Module._compile (module.js:446:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:464:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:353:31)
    at Function._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:484:10)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:190:38)

Below you can see the version of express I am using:

Brendans-MacBook-Pro:combo brendan_rice$ npm view express version
npm WARN [email protected] package.json: 'modules' object is deprecated
npm WARN [email protected] package.json: 'modules' object is deprecated
npm WARN [email protected] package.json: 'modules' object is deprecated
npm WARN [email protected] package.json: 'modules' object is deprecated
3.0.0rc1

combohandler does not support express v3.0.0: https://github.com/rgrove/combohandler/blob/master/package.json

You could probably workaround the error by not creating an express server manually but rather by letting combohandler to take care of it. That is, do not pass the second argument to the combohandler constructor.

Thanks penartur, that was exactly the problem, I installed an earlier version of express and it worked.
