Browser downloads the file instead of showing html
I have developed MERN app in my local system. I am trying to host it AWS-EC2 (Free Tier).
Never thought deploying would be so painful.(Well, i am beginner to Node. Earlier i have worked with php. I found it easier to integrate)
I referred this article to install Node and Express. Node is successfully installed. I created sample file 'test.js' with following code:
var http = require('http');
var port = 9000;
http.createServer(function(req,res){
res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'test/plain'});
res.end('Hello world!n');
}).listen(port);
console.log('Listening on port',port);
After executing
node test.js
the browser downloads a file with no extension. Opened in editor and it has 'Hello World' in it. Nothing else. I am pretty sure i have followed all steps properly. But still i ended up 'Downloading the file'
Can anyone help me with this issue?
BONUS QUESTION : How do i deploy MERN app in AWS EC2?
Have a nice day
Thanks

try this (you forgot to add the listen callback, and a typo in content type):
var http = require('http');
var port = 9000;
http.createServer(function(req,res){
res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello world!n');
}).listen(port, err => {
if (err) throw err
console.log('Listening on port',port);
})

Use appropriate content type for your html page.
res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
For a viewable html code, text/html should be set as content type instead of test/plain.
