This indicates that you are attempting to navigate your browser towards the websocket port/path. The good news is that this message means the websocket port is accessible.

Now, on your webserver, where did you put the client's index.html? Open the client with your browser.

For instance, this is the difference between visiting:
https://hack.chat/chat-ws hack.chat's websocket port with incorrect uri scheme
vs
https://hack.chat/index.html?marzavec hack.chat's chat client

@a7898585 Any updates on this?

[marzavec]

I'll reopen this if you are still having trouble!

[a7898585]

should i install lnmp first and move the docs under client to /home/wwwroot/default/ ?
and as now, I reinstall the program with script under below, seems can't work anymore
`
1
git clone https://github.com/hack-chat/main.git

2
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -

3
sudo yum -y install nodejs

4
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make

5
cd main/server

6
cp /main/client/* /home/wwwroot/default //default is folder of 80 port

7
npm install pm2@latest -g

8
pm2 start server/main.js --name HackChat

9
visit 127.0.0.1:6060 failed to open it

visit 127.0.0.1 failed to open it`

I‘m new here ,and now so clear with your introduction, thanks for your kind help in advance

Before step 8, have you generated or put a config in place? Try:

cd server
npm run config

This force the server to generate a config. After that, you can continue as normal:

pm2 start main.js --name HackChat

If you are still having trouble starting the server software, you can run pm2 logs to see if there are errors starting it.

This happens because you are using 127.0.0.1:6060, do not use the websocket port in the URL. Instead, make it a website with httpd and move the contents of /main/client to /var/www/html. Then you would use this in the url: 127.0.0.1/?nameofchatserver

[a7898585]

when I run the script
cd server
npm run config

it shows

[a7898585]

here is my server
http://173.255.251.101/?nameofchatserver
installed with nginx and php
nginx html path is /home/wwwroot/default/

[raf924]

Did you run npm install at some point ?

[a7898585]

yeah, i do like this
cd main/server
npm install
npm run config
still failed

[a7898585]

I reboot the server and do it again, seems worked
thanks a lot for your kind help.
by the way, if I want to keep the chatting message ,how could I do it?

[marzavec]

Good to hear!

You want to keep a history of the chat messages and display them when someone joins? A custom module would need to be built to handle this. The difficulty of this would vary depending on how you wanted to store the messages; in memory, or to storage with json or a database.

[a7898585]

sure, i think this chat messages will help some guy who also new in linux
for current soft, it will destroy all the message when all vistors get out of the specified room right?
if I want to store the message into database of txt, is that possible?
