node.js: Cannot find module 'ico'

My website (running on the express framework) suddenly started complaining that it needed a favicon. Upon adding a favicon.ico, it now gives me this error every time someone tries to view a page.

Error: Cannot find module 'ico'
at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:334:11)

You just have to add a 'GET' handler for '/favico.ico' ;

app.get('/favico.ico' , function(req , res){/*code*/});

you could just add it there to silence the error or you could respond with an actual img uri .

Resolved; I have

app.all('/:action', function(req, res){

in my app.js, and it was trying to interpret the favicon.ico as a page.

some more information about the error would be helpful or some code examples.

just to make sure; you will have to add the path in which the .ico lies to a static route for express like so;

app.use("/mypathwhereicolies", express.static(__dirname+'/mypathwhereicolies'));
