Site doesn’t seem to be working about 10kgames

[davidindra]

Hello,
thanks very much for your feedback. I'll take a look on it in a few hours.

I see two problems:

• WebSocket server isn't running as described in Readme
• hosting prefer HTTPS; our WS server can't do secure WebSockets

First problem can be solved easily - just launch the server as described. The second problem is a bit more complicated, I see two possible solutions:

• disable HTTPS on the hosting
• add HTTPS -> HTTP redirect into our code

What do you think?

Of course both these solutions aren't clear (clear would be modifying WS server to be able to serve WSS too), but they are the easiest :)

BTW, you can check the project working here.

Looking forward for your reply :)

I can use the non-SSL URL if you want.

[davidindra]

Yes, that would be great :)

I still do not see PHP WebSocket server running (port 9000 is dead). You can launch it by running php server/index.php in project's root directory on the server.

Looks like you will need a web.config to set up the WebSockets server.

You are hosting the project on Windows Server & IIS, am I right? Is it possible to launch it in Linux environment?

If Linux environment can't be used - I think on Windows you can execute command php the same way on Linux, or not? (Of course if it is in system PATH variable). If it is possible, then you can launch the command php path_to_project/server/index.php the same way as on Linux, I think.

I think the web.config just needs a rule pointing to the file. https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/websocket

I've tried to add it (using the information from your link), but I am still very unsure if this is gonna to work.

@molant suggested you check out this StackOverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27299206/php-websockets-extension-on-microsoft-azure-website

He also suggested there may also be an issue not running it all over SSL.
