I ecounter this error all the time in node.js. Error: Cannot find module

I am trying to learn node.js and these are my files and errors. I don't know what actually is wrong. I am learning a tutorial from Programming with Moss.

app.js

var logger = require('./logger');

console.log(logger);

logger.js

function log() {
    console.log("hello");
}

module.exports.log = log;

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1017
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './logger'

Instead of using 

var logger = require('/logger');

Use 

var logger = require('./logger'); //Notice the dot there

To put it simply the dot references the current path, so if you path is something like /home/user/project it would point to the /home/user/project/logger.js file.

EDIT: Make sure your app.js and logger.js files are in the same directory.
