Answer 1

createServer() is now deprecated meanwhile you could use Server() instead .. just check the following snippet or simply use express web framework.

var http  = require("http");

var server = http.Server(function(request, response) {
    response.end("heeloo world");
});


server.listen(3030, function(err){
    if(!err)
        console.log("success");
    else
        console.log("error");   
});

Answer 2

it's createServer where S is an uppercase letter
