app.js

var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var favicon = require('serve-favicon'); var logger = require('morgan'); var cookieparser = require('cookie-parser'); var bodyparser = require('body-parser');  var app = express();  // modules var hbs = require('hbs'); var defaultlogger = require('express-logger');  var index = require('./routes/index'); var users = require('./routes/users');  // view engine setup app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')); app.set('view engine', 'hbs'); app.set('view options', {layout: './layouts/application'}); hbs.registerpartials(__dirname + '/views/layouts/partials');  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); app.use(defaultlogger({path: "log/development.log"})); //logger app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'bulb.ico'))); app.use(logger('dev')); app.use(bodyparser.json()); app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); app.use(cookieparser());  app.use('/', index); app.use('/users', users);  // catch 404 , forward error handler app.use(function(req, res, next) {   var err = new error('not found');   err.status = 404;   next(err); });  // error handler app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {   // set locals, providing error in development   res.locals.message = err.message;   res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};    // render error page   res.status(err.status || 500);   res.render('error'); });  module.exports = app; 

uses.js

var express = require('express'); var router = express.router(); var userservice = require('../services/users')  /* users listing. */ router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {   userservice.all(function(users){     res.render('users/dummy')   }) });  // login form router.get('/login', function(req, res, next){   res.render('users/login', {title: 'login'}); });  module.exports = router; 

i guess path in format: <link href="stylesheets/bootstrap.css">

you should contain / @ start of path. load correct path. <link href="/stylesheets/bootstrap.css">
