Can't run this nodejs code?

Question

Im trying to run this simple code but I m getting error all the time...I really dont know what's the problem. It seems to me very Ok...? Thanks!

 var http = require(http); console.log('Starting'); var host = '127.0.0.1'; var port = 1337; var server = http.createServer(function(request, response){ console.log('Receive request: '+ request.url); response.writeHead(200, {"Content-type" : "text/plain"}); response.end("Hello world"); }); server.listen(port, host, function(){ console.log('Listening: ' + host + ':' + port); });

Console error is this:

assert.js:98 throw new assert.AssertionError({ ^ AssertionError: path must be a string: path must be a string at Module.require (module.js:362:3) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/yoniPacheko/PhpstormProjects/angularJS/nodeJS/server.js:9:12) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:901:3

In your first line there are quotes missing around http:

var http = require('http');

In my case, I had

var http = require('http'); var path= require('path');

As soon as I deleted the the http line, it worked for me.So, i did leave only

var path= require('path');

I was working on express,mongodb,socket.io.
