Answer 1

The problem is that you have a & in your path name:
C:\Rachna\p-16 working with Form & User Input using http request\user-input-project>npm start

Read this StackOverflow answer to know more. As a solution, stop your server and then try replacing the & in your pathname with something else, like and. After that, it should work properly.
