Looks like controllers is in the ‘src’ folder. I think suppose to be: ./src/controllers

3

thanks i tried that now but still not running

4

Try restarting the server. Also, did you use VsCode intelligence to write the file names and path?

I would suggest letting vscode do it. See if you can use the terminal to nano into the file from the src directory.

Like:

In src dir:

nano ./controllers/RegisterController.js

*Sorry for spelling mistakes.

6

In the Register Controller, assign the object a name, then do:

module.exports = `name of object`
7

i tried those methods you listed, its still not running. theres an exact same error problem listed on github as well but it doesnt have the right answer

8

This type of problem is probably not on github. It is a file path issue.

thanks so much for trying to help i got it to work earlier, the “const registerController” on top had to start with capital letter.
