I am running ethereum node and try to connect with my Dapp
But there is some problem with my rpc connection that is web3.isConnected() is not returning anything
It should return true or false

Answer 1

If you have MetaMask installed and using it, select custom RPC and put http://localhost:4000.

In case of MetaMask, call new Web3 instance, web3js(or anything else), as web3 is already defined.

if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') 
{
    web3js = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
}
else {
    web3js = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:4000'));
}
