I am trying to use Embedded Javascript renderer for node. I installed it using npm, as given here: https://github.com/visionmedia/ejs

You need to send something to the response. From the connect hello-world

var connect = require('../../lib/connect');

var server = connect.createServer(function(req, res){
  var body = 'Hello World';
  res.writeHead(200, {
      'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
    , 'Content-Length': body.length
  });
  res.end(body);
});

server.listen(3000);
console.log('Connect server listening on port 3000');

So for your app you'll want to replace:

function(req,res) {
 ejs.render('hi');
}

With something like:

function(req,res) {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.end(ejs.render('hi'));
}

Does that work?
