Server not running in node/express

My code of server.js is:

var express = require('express');

var env = process.env.NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

var app = express();

app.configure(function(){

    app.set('views', ___dirname + '/server/views');
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');
});

app.get('*', function(req, res){
    res.render('index');
});
var port = 3030;
app.listen(port);
console.log('listening on Port' + port + '....');

And the problem is: 

TypeError: undefined is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (F:\MeanSite\server.js:7:5)
at Module._compile (module.js:460:26)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:478:10)
at Module.load (module.js:355:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:310:12)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:501:10)
at startup (node.js:129:16)
at node.js:814:3

You must have copied that code from an obsolete documentation or blog, the configure method has been removed in Express 4.

See Migrating to Express 4 and specifically

app.configure() has been removed. Use process.env.NODE_ENV or app.get('env') to detect the environment and configure the app accordingly.

Fast fix: change

app.configure(function(){
    app.set('views', ___dirname + '/server/views');
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');
});

to

app.set('views', ___dirname + '/server/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
