res.sendFile does not return a HTML
<p>this is my code I am running the server but I can't get the page index.html
the error is  </p>

<pre><code>    app.get('/',function(request,response){
  console.log("/");
   response.sendFile(__dirname+"/views/index.html");
})
</code></pre>

<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
HTTP ERROR 404
</code></pre>

<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>

<pre><code>   var http = require("http");

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
// var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
// var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
// app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
// app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use(express.static(__dirname+"/"));

app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

// error handlers

// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
  app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
    res.status(err.status || 500);
    res.render('error', {
      message: err.message,
      error: err
    });
  });
}

app.get('/',function(request,response){
  console.log("/");
res.sendfile('views/index.html', {root: __dirname });
});


// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user

app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error', {
    message: err.message,
    error: {}
  });
});
// http.createServer(function (request, response) {
//    // Send the HTTP header 
//    // HTTP Status: 200 : OK
//    // Content Type: text/plain
//    response.end('Hello World\n');
//    response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
//     // Send the response body as "Hello World"


// }).listen(8081);
app.listen(5000);

// Console will print the message
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:5000/');
module.exports =app;
