Excellent package, however, I followed the instructions after a clone but got this error...

~/node/node-boilerplate node project/app.js

I had a similar issue. I was able to fix it by updating node to the latest version... maybe check that if you haven't already?

I tried reproducing this on a few machines. But could not get the error to occur.

You can fix this error by changing:

, io = require('socket.io-node')

to

, io = require('Socket.IO-node')

It seems like capitalization is key here.

Thanks Techwraith, just pushed a fix patch.

techwraith commented 14 years ago

No problem, thanks for pushing the patch. Love what you've done here!

I encountered a similar error with node v0.1.98-31-g1c6671a. Upgrading to 0.1.104 resolved the problem.

It looks to me like this issue is still open on the latest versions (5.4 & 5.5) under windows. For example, I get this error when I try to run node-inspector. Maybe it's because I have to install the module socket.io but I can't seem to find out how...
