title: opening HTML file using express.js
body: <pre><code>var express = require("express");
  var fs = require('fs');
  var sys = require('sys');
  
  var app = express();
      app.use(express.logger());
  
  app.get('/', function(req, res){
      fs.readFile('/views/index.html');
  });
  
  app.listen(8080);
  console.log('Express server started');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't want to use the template engine jade. How can i open a simple index.html page which resides inside my view folder. The server is getting started, but it seems i am not able to load the index.html page.</p>
