Add router.set("view engine","ejs") before taking any requests from the router. Basically, add this line after creating router. I think this should solve your problem. Moreover, as you are inside your routes folder, you need to specify the path of the views folder as well. I think you do that by adding router.use("views", __dirname + "/../views/"). There might be a typo here, but this is the gist of it.
