Requrie stack error when using nginx and pm2

Question

I am using WinSCP and Nginx to host my application but I keep on getting this error when I check the logs of pm2 I checked my WinSCP and it says it contains all folders so it doesn't seem to have anything missing

/home/***/.pm2/logs/server-error.log last 15 lines:
0|server   | Require stack:
0|server   | - /home/***/server.js

0|server   |   code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
0|server   |   requireStack: [ '/home/****/server.js' ]
0|server   | }

I am unsure of what the "require stack" error means and I am unsure of how to handle it. Can someone point me in the right direction? If you need more information please let me know.

Answer 1

It's a stack trace. Your underlying error is an attempt to require() a module that doesn't exist.

Node's stack traces for require() failures are notorious for their uselessness. Ignore them. Just figure out which module is missing, and fix it.
