Error: Currenty there is no connection to the server. reconnecting in 10

[nishanth6]

As I'm using xampp server

config.php

`<?php date_default_timezone_set('EUROPE/AMSTERDAM');

define ('DATABASE_HOST', 'localhost'); define ('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'root'); define ('DATABASE_PASSWORD', ''); define ('DATABASE_DB', 'socket_chat'); define ('ENABLE_DATABASE', true);

/**

• The host can either be an IP or a hostname
• on this machine. The port is just the port
• plain and simple. */ define('CHAT_SERVER_HOST', '127.0.0.1'); define('CHAT_SERVER_PORT', '80');

` I tried to run aa

http://localhost/chat/chat/index.php

Got the Error as

Error: Currenty there is no connection to the server. reconnecting in 10

Hey @nishanth6,

Did you run the server as well ?

[nishanth6]

@johnnymast Yes, I had xammp server running with MySQL. and I also imported the DB and in config define ('ENABLE_DATABASE', true);

[johnnymast]

Maybe you should switch off the database (for now) and try again to eliminate possible errors.

Alright i have spotted the error.

1. change CHAT_SERVER_PORT back to 8080
2. Set XAMPP up and point it to the directory with index.php
3. On the command line start php ./server.php

This will run index.php from xampp, this creates html and will connect to the server on port 8080. So server.php will bind to port 8080.

No Good it didn't solved the problem

@johnnymast

[johnnymast]

Is your version on github ?

[johnnymast]

@nishanth6 is your index.php located in the root of your webserver? (and not something like /chat/index.php)? Im asking because:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/dom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/websockets.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/interface.js"></script>

If your document root is /chat (or something) then these files and the stylesheets are not found. You might want to change the script urls or your document root.

This issue will be resolved in version 1.4. For now remove the prefix / from the local script and css links in the html and you will be good to go.

Happy coding ! :octocat: 👍
