Server starts, but it doesn't accept connections. Your examples, and the module itself are a bit cryptic. How do I set it up in my example? 👍

Sorry, I don't maintain this library anymore. If you know someone or wish to work on it - let me know, I'll give you the proper rights!

[paulbjensen]

Hi,

We're using this library in production at my current employer (Axisto Media) for one of our core applications. I would be happy to help maintain this for you.

[indutny]

@paulbjensen I've just given the rights to @tlhunter , if you wish to cooperate - you could try reaching him out. Thank you, anyway!

[paulbjensen]

No worries, glad to see it's getting maintained. It was a great find when I
was trying to figure out how to use socket.io with Node's cluster API way
back.

My main point of focus is getting it working on Node 0.10. I'll be happy to
submit a PR if I manage to make progress on that.

Regards,

Paul Jensen

Wait what? It's not compatible with 0.10.x node? How about latest release of socket? ExpressJS?

[paulbjensen]

I should add a caveat to my comment.

We're running a legacy Node.js application (Node 0.8), and we use
sticky-session along with an old version of engine.io (via a wrapper module
we wrote to replace NowJS).

In trying to get the legacy app to Node 0.10, we encountered timeouts
rendering pages (Node 0.10 on Mac OS X Mavericks). The version of engine.io
in use was still relatively old.

The timeouts sounds exactly like what is happening here:

I'm going to try and figure out this ticket (as well as the other open ones), although I won't be getting to it until this weekend.

@paulbjensen if you want to submit a PR, I'm sure it'll expedite the process ;)

[elad]

@suprMax - since there haven't been any updates on this issue you might want to look at my writeup on the subject. I too found the examples a bit cryptic but also needed a less intrusive solution. In the process, we found a bug that might be a contributing factor to what you're seeing.

[max-degterev]

@elad thanks! I will def take a look! I'm stuck with running one process w/o any workers at the moment. It totally sucks :(

[mukulgupta2507]

@suprMax

Were you able to find any solution for this ? I'm also facing a similar issue. Please revert if you have some updated info on this.

Thanks

[max-degterev]

@mukulgupta2507 since I'm older and wiser now, I do 👍 Look at passenger or nginx config options. I did it last time with some smart nginx trickery. Passenger will replace whole load balancing for you.
