started 'http-server' using command prompt its running but not working
Question
I don't know if this is good place to ask this question but i just started studying reactjs and stuck in the beginning, here is the question.
I have installed node and Installed http-server from the npm command on the command prompt npm install -g http-server and went to the directory where is my static files and run command http-server and then to the browser hit localhost:8081 .
Nothing happens/shows on browser but on command prompt it shows that its running and working properly, everytime i refresh browser then it shows on command prompt working. So why nothing happens on browser ?
here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1 maximum-scale=1"> <title>Demo</title> <script src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.production.min.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/babel-standalone@6.15.0/babel.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="example"> </div> <script type="text/babel"> ReactDOM.render( <h1>Something</h1>, document.getElementById('example')); </script> </body> </html>

If you are looking for an alternative/easy way to set up a react application without having to worry about the messy configuration settings from the beginning, then I recommend using facebooks create-react-app starter code .
I realize this does not help you if you wished to learn the setup process, but for jumping right into react routing and learning that it is a great resource! I start most of my web-applications using this. It can also be easily modified to implement express for when you delve even further into the world of web-dev. I believe the starter code is also set up with web-pack and supports hot-loading, so any changes you make will automatically be refreshed/reflected after hitting save and you do not need to restart/republish to the server!
On top of that, this book is also a great resource for learning react, the DOM, JS, Express, and the like. I read and worked through the last edition (published 2017?) and found it super useful, hopefully this newer edition holds the same reputation.
Web-pack in itself is another large topic, and I endorse you to read up on it's capabilities, functions, high level design/implementation and the like as it is really interesting! Happy transpiling!

It looks like there is an ongoing issue with http-server . However, we can fix this using this tweak.
Try accessing your file in localhost with the filename after running http-server command.
For example, if your file name is somefile.html , try accessing this file like http://localhost:8081/somefile.html
