I have a node.js server running on the port 8443. Whenever I try to run the application through the browser my socket.io keeps connecting for about 20 seconds before the url turns red at the end.
Edit 3 : This is my directory structure and now with updated files
/var/www/html/nodetest/
Inside this
/node_modules
/app.js
/index.html
Node JS is installed on server.
Here is my main app.js code (as suggested in answer) :
var app = require('express')();
var server = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var fs = require('fs');
// Run server to listen on port 8443.
server = app.listen(8443, () => {
console.log('listening on *:8443');
});
io.listen(server);
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.emit('message', 'this is the message emitted by server');
});
app.get('/', function(req, res){
fs.readFile(__dirname + 'index.html', function(error, data) {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end(data);
});
});
And this is my client browser side code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/1.5.1
/socket.io.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var websocket;
function onload() {
websocket = io.connect();
websocket.on('message',function(data) {
console.log('Received a message from the server!',data);
});
};
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onload()">
<div id="divId"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here is an image of the error
Now it shows 404 Error
