Run Your Server

The last code you need to write is a main package with a main function to start your server. In the root directory of your project, create a cmd/server directory tree, and in the server directory create a file named main.go with this code:

        "github.com/travisjeffery/proglog/internal/server"
)

func main() {
        srv := server.NewHTTPServer(":8080")
        log.Fatal(srv.ListenAndServe())
}
