Don't know if there is a better place for this question.

I'm trying your example and installation instructions on a mac running Yosemite and MAMP pro. Getting this error when trying to run "node js/server.js":

node js/server.js

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at errnoException (net.js:904:11)
    at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:895:19)

Firewall is disabled, so all ports are open. MAMP is running on port 80. Browsing to localhost:8080 gives a 404, so presumably there's nothing else listening on the port.

I'm confused about how this is supposed to work.

Your readme file says, "setup a vhost to your folder". So presumably you mean adding a VirtualHost in httpd.conf (for example) which maps a domain name (like rabbit-demo.dev) to that folder on port 80.

With that in place however, the call to socket.io fails: (failed) net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. It seems to be trying to connect to http://localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js

I've checked that port 8080 is open in iptables and also SELinux is not throwing any audit errors.

So I'm stumped. Any chance you could elaborate a bit more on the vhost and port setup?
