How can I publish a nodJS app on aws? - node.js

Question

I'm using a free tier version of aws cloud, and have some trouble with loading up a nodeJs Application. I 've tried to follow the documentation of aws but it didn't work unfortunately. I choose the Elastic BeanStalk, from the services, and create a new Application. I choose nodeJs for the preconfigured platform of course. I make a zip with my app, and I really pay attention, to not have any parent folder above package.json, and app.js . As you can see on the picture above, I have a folder "public" which contains additional folders (css,img, javascript code). When I try to upload the project, I get an error message.
"Failed to find package.json. Node.js may have issues starting. Verify package.json is valid or place code in a file named server.js or app.js." In the project view I've got a health status "degraded", and an other error code: "i-045ac359227e3a9ae" Severe
I 've tried many php projects on this server, and everything worked fine,but I can't make it work with Node. Could you help me out please?

The error message you wrote is : "Failed to find package.json. Node.js may have issues starting. Verify package.json is valid or place code in a file named server.js or app.js."
From the folder I only see you have app.js file.
And in your package.json, there are server.js:
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "test",
"start": "node server.js"
}
Perhaps you should change server.js to app.js ?
Update
Since you mentioned they have the same name:
could it be you zipped the folder instead of zipped the files ?
