I'm following this Rails chat tutorial and successfully make it locally. But I got trouble deploying it to Amazon EC2 Linux. Error loading the faye.js
GET http://localhost:9292/faye.js net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Do I need to configure something ? BTW I already added port 9292 for both Incoming and Outbound in Security Groups.
Thank you.
SOLVE
No need to add Inbound or Outbound in Amazon EC2 Security Group. To run or check the faye connection like in local development (http://localhost:9292) in Amazon EC2.
run/check faye
rails s -b 0.0.0.0
-b is for binding. See this link, https://github.com/thoughtbot/til/blob/master/docker/binding-to-0-0-0-0-in-rails.md
So, you can now access it using EC2 IP/Elastic IP like http://54.33.222.111:9292.
Then, you will see "Sure you're not looking for /faye ?"
run private_pub
rackup private_pub.ru -s thin -E production -o 0.0.0.0
-o will open ports for your EC2 IP Address.
You can also use external faye server. As here https://github.com/Hareramrai/fayeserver. But it seems a little slow in response, so I still used locally.
If you plan to use external faye server, update your private_pub.yml like:
server: "http://ramfayeserver.herokuapp.com/faye"
secret_token: "batkaro"
