Primus call to nodejs server, primus file not found

I've set up an API with nodejs express for a real-time chat application. For it to be real-time I am using primus but I'm currently stuck at trying to connect primus to my frontend.

I have a folder structure for the whole backend and then another folder structure for my frontend. So they are both separate.

Here I connect the server to Primus 

var server = http.createServer(app);
const primus = require('../primus/live').go(server);

This then goes as you can see to the folder primus with a file live.js

//BACKEND

const Primus = require('primus');

let go = (server) => {
    let primus = new Primus(server, {/* options */});
    primus.on('connection', (spark) => {
        console.log('Received spark 🔥');
    });
} 

module.exports.go = go;

Now in my frontend, I am trying to call Primus via the script tag 

//FRONTEND
<script src="http://localhost:3000/primus/live.js"></script>

but this just gives me a 404 Not Found error. Also when I just try to connect through this in my browser it doesn't work. So I am unsure what my problem here is. Any ideas?

make sure to call .listen on the http server, not the Express server
