POCan't find socket.io.js
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm making a web-app that makes use of nodejs, mongodb, socket.io, express and mongoose. <br/> I can start my server and correctly get the wanted html file in my browser when browsing to my localhost.<br/> The problem I have is getting my socket.io to work. On my server side everything works fine : I get " info - socket.io started " in my terminal.</p> <p>But when surfing to my browser I get this in my browser console <br /><br /></p> <pre><code> Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined </code></pre> <p>This is how i connect to socket.io.js</p> <pre><code> <script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> </code></pre> <p>and my map structure looks like this:</p> <pre><code> map -app.js -public --index.html -node_modules --socket.io --mongodb --express --jade --mongoose </code></pre> <p>Does anyone knows what the mistake is I've made?</p> <p>(it's actually the same problem as here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10563080/node-js-socket-io-js-not-found-or-io-not-defined">Node.js socket.io.js not found or io not defined</a> )</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> My code on the server side is this:</p> <pre><code> var app= require('express').createServer(); var io = require('socket.io').listen(app); var mongoose = require('mongoose'); var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/db'); app.listen(3030); console.log("server started"); app.get('/',function(req,res){ res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/index.html'); }); io.sockets.on('connection',function(socket){ console.log("connection made"); }); </code></pre> <p>The first log, gets logged in the terminal ("server started"), but the second one ("connection made") doesn't get logged. So the connection isn't made. I thought that was because of the wrong "set up" in my client side.</p>
