socket.io.js not found

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 39594 / 12 Years ago, tue, april 17, 2012, 12:00:00

For some reason my node server cannot serve the route /socket.io/socket.io.js, I always get a 404 error.

I tried compiling different node versions (current is 0.6.13 which also runs on server, where it actually works).

From the app.js I get info: socket.io started and no error when trying to call the socket.io.js.

I try it from localhost and port 8000 and I use the express framework

This is the code from app.js:

var express = require('express')

  , app = require('express').createServer()

  , io = require('socket.io').listen(app, { log: true });



app.listen(8000);



app.configure(function() {

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

    app.use(express.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack: true }));

});



io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {

   // all other stuff here

Please check your Express version. Express recently is updated to 3.0alpha which API was changed. If 3.0 you can change your code to something likes this:

var express = require('express')

  , http = require('http');



var app = express();

var server = http.createServer(app);

var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);



...



server.listen(8000);
