socket.io - can't get it to work, having 404's on some kind of polling call

Question

I\'m trying to get a server set up with socket.io, with bad results.

I am mostly following this guide, although it\'s somewhat out of date: http://www.williammora.co

Answer 1

In my case, I created my app with the Express application generator. To solve this problem, instead of edit the app.js file on the root folder of the project, I edited the file bin/www on the line after the server is defined:

/**
 * Create HTTP server.
 */

var server = http.createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server); // Add this here

Update

I found a better way here Express Generator and Socket.io
