Answer 1

This almost happens than you try to get socket.io in you html files like :

index.html

where you have:

 < script type="text/javascript" src="/socket.io/socket.io.js">

It will not find socket.io because you did not started module in you application file wich contain the server like

server.js

You must include following lines after started your server in server.js :

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

Hope, will save time.
