NodeJS code not working

Question

My nodeJS code isn't working for some reason. I'm new to nodeJS, so excuse my ignorance. Here's the server code:

var http = require('http'); console.log("before"); var app = http.createServer(function (request, response) { console.log("Server Created"); }).listen(3000); var io = require('socket.io').listen(app); io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) { console.log("Client Connected"); });

Here is my client code:

<script type="text/javascript"> var socketio = io.connect("http://localhost:3000"); </script>

I run the server, then go to index.html which contains the client code. I feel like I must be missing something obvious :| Client Connected never prints.

@Nonemoticoner I was working from a tutorial. Maybe in the client code, io isn't recognized? Not sure where that variable comes from. — Wyatt

You are loading the socket.io client-side library in index.html? — gcampbell

looks like your server code is just fine.

Have you tried changing localhost to IP Address in your client code like the following:

 ... <script type="text/javascript" src="http://<YOUR_IP>:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var socket = io('http://<YOUR_IP:3000'); </script>
