node.js not functioning correctly, windows 7

Question

I have the following file:

var express = require('express'),
    http = require('http'),
    app = express(),
    httpServer = http.createServer(app);

app.configure(function () {
    app.set('port', 3000);
    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});

httpServer.listen(app.get('port'), function () {
    console.log("Express server listening on port %s.", httpServer.address().port);
});

However this gives the follow errors:

C:\var\www\stage.mayfieldafc.com>nodemon http.js
18 Jul 01:19:29 - [nodemon] v1.2.1
18 Jul 01:19:29 - [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`

18 Jul 01:19:29 - [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

After installing both nodemon and express and I can see both folders inside of node_modules

Also when console logging the return of express I see that it has correctly loaded the module.

How can I verify my node install? Or better still fix it.

Express 4 no longer has app.configure(). See the wiki on migrating from Express 3 to Express 4.

The method app.configure has been removed from express 4. So now you have to say something like bellow.

app.set('port', 3000);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

instead of

app.configure(function () {
    app.set('port', 3000);
    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});

and there are many other changes has been made.
