My site static files are not served (node app on Amazon AWS)

I installed a simple node.js / express website using the instructions on this page: http://techprd.com/setup-node-js-web-server-on-amazon-ec2/

It seems like that everything is working well when i specify the port number (5000), as you can see in the following: http://aws.deliverightlogistics.com:5000/

however, when you remove the port number, all the static files cannot be found and you can see the result here: http://aws.deliverightlogistics.com/

The node/express page saving looks like this:

app.get('/images/*', function(req,res) { var url = __dirname + '/public' + req.url; res.sendfile(url); });

app.get('/', function(req,res) { var home = __dirname + '/public/index.html'; res.sendfile(home); }); Is there anything i'm missing here?

Thx

Can you add some middleware to log the requests coming into your server? Did you check the case of the file names? Did you try requesting the resources one at a time and see what happens on the server? Is it getting handled by another route handler up the stack? I think we need to see a bit more... Are both sites running the same code? – akaphenom
let me know what kind of logs I should add and I'll do that... – Or A
In the middleware I would log the path of the object being requested. I would also consider hard coding the complete paths to some resources and see if it is an issue with the wild carding... – akaphenom

add the following configuration so that Nginx acting as a proxy redirect to port 3000 traffic from the server when we come from “subdomain.your_domain.com"
