My server is working correctly locally

Jonnier,

If something works locally and it doesn’t work when deployed to us then that suggests that the two environments are different - well, we can be sure that are!

When paths are involved like this, my immediate thought is filename/folder casing. We run a case-sensitive file system, but you are probably using a case-insensitive file system.

From your error here:

Error: Cannot find module ‘./routes/videoGamesRouter.js’

I would check that the names of the folder and files on disk/in your GitHub repo match exactly the same as the import used in your code, if not, you can either rename the file or change the import so it matches,

I hope that helps,
