I'm relatively new to node.js and it's addons, so this is probably a beginnersquestion.
I'm trying to get a simple HTML page on a webserver connect to a different server running node.js with websocket.io.
My code looks like this:
Client
<script src="socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
// Create SocketIO instance, connect
var socket = new io.Socket();
socket.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8080');
// Add a connect listener
socket.on('connect',function() {
console.log('Client has connected to the server!');
});
// Add a connect listener
socket.on('message',function(data) {
console.log('Received a message from the server!',data);
});
// Add a disconnect listener
socket.on('disconnect',function() {
console.log('The client has disconnected!');
});
// Sends a message to the server via sockets
function sendMessageToServer(message) {
socket.send(message);
};
</script>
Serverside
// Require HTTP module (to start server) and Socket.IO
var http = require('http');
var io = require('socket.io');
var port = 8080;
// Start the server at port 8080
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){
// Send HTML headers and message
res.writeHead(200,{ 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
res.end('<h1>Hello Socket Lover!</h1>');
});
server.listen(port);
// Create a Socket.IO instance, passing it our server
var socket = io.listen(server);
// Add a connect listener
socket.on('connection', function(client){
console.log('Connection to client established');
// Success! Now listen to messages to be received
client.on('message',function(event){
console.log('Received message from client!',event);
});
client.on('disconnect',function(){
clearInterval(interval);
console.log('Server has disconnected');
});
});
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:' + port + '/');
Starting up the server works fine and running http://localhost:8080 in my browser also works, returning 'Hello Socket Lover' as expected. But I want to make a different page talk to the sockets, not run one from node.js.
But when I run it, nothing happens and the Chrome console returns:
Failed to load resource http://undefined/socket.io/1/?t=1333119551736
Failed to load resource http://undefined/socket.io/1/?t=1333119551735
I've been at this all day. Any help?

You need to make sure that you add forward slash before your link to socket.io:
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
Then in the view/controller just do:
var socket = io.connect()
That should solve your problem.
