Could you also share the code for your test.js file please?

Here it is,

var socket = require('socket.io');

var app =  express.createServer();

var io = socket.listen(app);

io.sockets.on('connection',function(client){
    console.log("client connected....");
});

Whatever you’re working from is severely outdated and you need to find more recent material to work off of. express.createServer() was deprecated in Express 2 and removed in Express 3. Express 4 is the current release.

So you’re working off Express 1.

3 versions behind.

@jemz Here’s a good place to start: Build A Real-Time Twitter Stream with Node and React.js Also check out SailsJS it’s a modern application framework for express, which also bundles socket.io
