Using socket.io with nodejs on a server with apache as a reverse proxy

Question

I\'m attempting to use Node.js with Socket.IO to faciliate messaging between the browser and client, following the guide.

However, I had to setup Node reverse-proxie

Answer 1

I don't think this has anything to do with your apache proxy, but some 'quirks' with how socket.io handles requests on a sub-directory. See my answer here. NGINX configuration to work with Socket.IO

Basically, you need to use this connect statement instead:

var socket = io.connect('http://example.com', {resource:'nodejs/socket.io'});
