WebSocket error in console..

[pichalite]

@whitts don't think many use apache so, getting help on that is not going to be easy... most here use Nginx.

[pichalite]

@whitts I have seen websockets error for installations running on master and using Nginx (not on all but only some. doesn't happen on this community). Doesn't affect functionality though.

[whitts]

I gave up... I removed apache and installed NGINX.. No more socket io errors in the console.. Thanks.

Just curious but what does the error change feature wise? ... that the site inst using Web Sockets and therefore results to polling?

[pichalite]

@whitts not sure about that... need to figure out why the error is happening on some but not all. I will probably create an issue on github.

[whitts]

@pichalite No problem.. its not doing it with nginx though so I will stick with that.

I'm on apache 2.4.7 this works for me after trying different things for a long time

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/socket.io            [NC]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket    [NC]
    RewriteRule /(.*)           ws://localhost:4567/$1 [P,L]

    ProxyPass / http://localhost:4567/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4567

source from serverfault

should be probably updated in the official documentation

@phit Thanks for the information.. I will give it a go if i ever move back to Apache. At least its on here now if anyone else has problems.

Hi,
I still have problem configurating apache...
With the new configuration (using the RewriteEngine) I get a 404 error instead of the 400.

Here a line from the access_log

[11/Mar/2016:13:25:03 +0100] "GET /ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=Wo9q_vZG6QCSZ7-9AAFN HTTP/1.0" 404 4815 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.75 Safari/537.36"

Any ideas on this?
Thanks

@fabian The leading slash in the route seems out of place...

[fabian]

@julian Thanks for the answer
I'm using apache 2.2.22 and it seems like there is a bug in that version wich causes the leading slash. I'm upgrading to 2.4 next week hoping this solves the issue...
An other option is the "<If ...>" directive, but thats only available in 2.4, too...
