Hi All, this has been a real nightmare for me so far. Ive had to do a lot of console logging to get this far. And now at least the page displays but I just keep getting the error listed in the Subject.

The error i am getting is There was an error getting the profile for styles/main.css. (Not Found) And the page does display but without any of the CSS styling.

If i uncomment the res.end(); from router.js i get the following error however the CSS initially works

events.js:174 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error [ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END]: write after end

Please help this is driving me insane!
