Fail Deploying Ratchet on Heroku

[Xam-Mlr]

Hi, i have just migrated my chat project on heroku but i can not connect to the ws server. I typed that command on the remote shell of heroku like usually "php socket.php" But when i connect to the server, no answers... Here's the code of socket.php

`<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;
use Ratchet\Http\HttpServer;
use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;
use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;
use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;


define('APP_PORT', 8889);/*8889*/





class ServerImpl implements MessageComponentInterface {
    protected $clients;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->clients = new \SplObjectStorage;
    }

    public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
        $this->clients->attach($conn);
        echo "New connection! ({$conn->resourceId}) [server]\n";
    }



    public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $conn, $msg) {
        echo sprintf("New message from '%s': %s\n\n\n", $conn->resourceId, $msg);
        $conn->send("received");

        foreach ($this->clients as $client) { // BROADCAST
            $message = json_decode($msg, true);
            if ($conn !== $client) {
                $client->send("new message:".$msg);
            }
        }


        $json = json_decode($msg);

       

    

    }





    public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
        $this->clients->detach($conn);
        echo "Connection {$conn->resourceId} is gone.\n";
    }

    public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) {
        echo "An error occured on connection {$conn->resourceId}: {$e->getMessage()}\n\n\n";
        $conn->close();
    }
}


$server = IoServer::factory(
    new HttpServer(
        new WsServer(
            new ServerImpl()
        )
    ),
    APP_PORT
);


echo "Server created on port " . APP_PORT . "\n\n";
$server->run();

?>`

So to connect with js to the server i use: var conn = new WebSocket('ws://xamchat.herokuapp.com:8889');

Thanks for help

Hi, you have to use port that is stored in environment variable. Like this define('APP_PORT', getenv('PORT')); And than connect to it on port 80 because its running on dyno and there is some kind of router. So script like this var conn = new WebSocket('ws://xamchat.herokuapp.com');

You should use Procfile to start server Like this web: php server.php -p $PORT

Hope it helps :)
