I started using [cloud9][1] and trying to host my nodejs app.
When I try to run my app it is throwing me following error:



Important: use process.env.PORT as the port and process.env.IP as the host in your

My app.js:



var app = require('express')();
//var app = express();
//var http = require('http');
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
var port = app.get('port');
console.log(port);
server.listen(port, process.env.IP);
// routing
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
// usernames which are currently connected to the chat
var usernames = {};
// rooms which are currently available in chat
var rooms = [];
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.on('adduser', function (username, room) {
socket.username = username;
socket.room = room;
usernames[username] = username;
socket.join(room);
socket.emit('updatechat', 'SERVER', 'You are connected. Start chatting');
socket.broadcast.to(room).emit('updatechat', 'SERVER', username + ' has connected to this room');
});
socket.on('createroom', function () {
var new_room = (+Math.random()).substring(2,7);
rooms.push(new_room);
socket.emit('updatechat', 'SERVER', 'Your room is ready, invite someone using this ID:' + new_room);
socket.emit('roomcreated', new_room);
});
// when the client emits 'sendchat', this listens and executes
socket.on('sendchat', function (data) {
// we tell the client to execute 'updatechat' with 2 parameters
io.sockets. in (socket.room).emit('updatechat', socket.username, data);
});

// when the user disconnects.. perform this
socket.on('disconnect', function () {
// remove the username from global usernames list
delete usernames[socket.username];
// update list of users in chat, client-side
io.sockets.emit('updateusers', usernames);
// echo globally that this client has left
if(socket.username !== undefined){
socket.broadcast.emit('updatechat', 'SERVER', socket.username + ' has disconnected');
socket.leave(socket.room);
}
});
});


I tried looking for any process already running at 8080, this is the output



user@chat_room:~/workspace (master) $ ps ax | grep node
14154 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto node


If I try using other port then I am not getting socket file, it throws me 404 error:



<script src=/socket.io/socket.io.js></script>



This works fine in local.

I would say the error said it all:




Important: use process.env.PORT as the port and process.env.IP as the host in your scripts!




Your environment wants you to use process.env.PORT and process.env.IP for port and ip respectively (is that cloud9?), but on this line you're using another environmental variable:



app.set('port', process.env.app_port || 8080)


Fix:



app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 8080)


(In general, the EADDRINUSE error is for when another process is listening to that port)



For the 404 error



EDIT: the code posted before was for an old version of Express. See http://socket.io/docs/#using-with-express-3/4
