Nodejs server: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I have a web server setted up in node.

var app = express();
app.use(express.static(PUBLIC_PATH));
server = require('http').createServer(app),
io = require('socket.io').listen(server);

i set the public path to my app's root public folder, where i keep my frontend, so when the server is deployed, it's /app/public

When i try to open a page, i see this in chrome's console

i Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

The file in question is app.js which is located in my public folder. I do see requests from the web server for that certain file

What is the problem?

UPDATE

As i'm debugging further i see that a css in the same root as my app.js (that can't be loaded), gets loaded. Here is my html:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css">
<script type='text/javascript' src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&signed_in=true&libraries=places"></script>
<script src="/app.js"></script>

so style.css does get loaded while app.js doesn't (because it can't be found), and they are in the same folder.

I don't know if it will help, but may be you should write: process.env.PUBLIC_PATH. Also, I don't know if you have this: 

var express = require('express');

I have this: 

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname ,'views')));

All is fixed, had the app.js git ignored so it worked locally but it wasn't uploaded.
