Can you require path module in your code and try doing this instead:

For your 1st problem, you're trying to access a file that doesn't exist. Since you did not post your package.json file, I can only guess but I think it's in the start script. The start script should be node run index.js rather than node run server.js.

For the 2nd problem, I don't know what you expect the /create route to do but it appears that its purpose is already being fulfilled by the POST /item. Just set the form action to "/item" to create a new item. You can then show the success or failure message in the Item.create callback function.

I am unsure where to put the createPage function to display the form.

Maybe put a link in your index.ejs file that navigates to the page with the form ("/items")

Outside of your questions, there's still quite a number of errors with your code. console.log is your friend. Log within functions that you expect are being called to see if they are actually being called and what data is being passed to the function. Work your way up from there.

You should also not directly assign to module.exports more than once in a single file (as you did in ./app/item-routes.js). Also, prefer using module.exports over exports when exporting stuff from a file.

Read up on scoping in JavaScript. Function parameters are only accessible within that function as well as any variables declared within it (there's exceptions to this when using the var keyword so prefer using let and const). Trying to access properties of app in ./app/item-routes.js will throw an Error because of this.

I would also recommend moving the getHomePage() function out of the items-route file since it has nothing to do with items. Maybe put it directly in your base index.js file or create a separate route for it.
