First of all, try to learn from actual/updated tutorials. Actual express version is 4, and it removes: 

 app.use(app.router);

(therefore my deduction of outdated tutorial) Second thing, i dont see in your code any routes. If you want to get responses from server, you need to write routes. For example:

app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
    res.send('Hello from route');
});
