This is a very old post but having searched around for answers on this I have found two things you need to do to get websockets on a custom port working with AWS EB.

1. Under the configuration of your EB environment. Go to Software and add an environment variable there. Make sure this is a case sensitive match with your code.

2. Again under the configuration of your EB environment. Go to Load Balancer and add the custom port as a listener.

Make sure you save the new listener under the config and on reload it should be routing websocket traffic on a custom port
