I have one EC2 instance running behind AWS application load balancer. On Ec2 instance socket.io running on port 5000. Now I want to redirect domain/socket.io port 80 request to port 5000 from AWS application load balancer. domain I have mapped with AWS ALB ( CNAME ).
Now when I am connecting from port 80 outside, its working but not able to send message from outside to socket server. But when I am connecting directly on Port 5000 from outside then i can send message from outside.
I don't know why not able to send message from port 80 to port 5000. On EC2 instance using apache2.4 version so i have enable all necessary module.
My apache configuration is for socket.io is :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/socket.io [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:5000/$1 [P,L]
ProxyPass /socket.io http://localhost:5000/socket.io
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io http://localhost:5000/socket.io
Please let me know how I can send message from outside to socket.io server on port 5000 using AWS alb.
Socket.io app.js file is below :
let app = require('express')();
let http = require('http').Server(app); let io = require('socket.io')(http);
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
// Log whenever a user connects
console.log('user connected');
// Log whenever a client disconnects from our websocket server
socket.on('disconnect', function(){
console.log('user disconnected');
});
// When we receive a 'message' event from our client, print out
// the contents of that message and then echo it back to our client
// using `io.emit()`
socket.on('message', (message) => {
console.log("Message Received: " + message);
socket.emit('message', {type:'new-message', text: message});
}); });
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('<h1>Hello world</h1>'); });
// Initialize our websocket server on port 5000 http.listen(5000, ()
=> {
console.log('started on port 5000'); });
Please help me regarding this.
