Remote Console for Javascript logging and error debugging using websockets

#Very simple remote javascript logger and error debugger I had troubles to debug windows phone javascript errors when using phonegap. This tries to solve the problem - at least partially. Future plans is to serve all content using node.js and make the error reporting to look better. Anyway it works for me :)

##Socket server

1. Download the latest version by clicking get zip
2. Unpack the .zip-file to directory of your choosing
3. Install node.js
4. to install node.js modules, type:
   1. npm install express
   2. npm install socket.io

Apache

I assume you run socket server and apache at same machine.

1. Copy "apache"-folder to your webserver
2. Change all "localhost" to point your socket servers url at debug.js and index.html

Debugger

1. copy and load "apache/debug.js" to your phonegap/html/whatever project
2. Change all "localhost" to point your socket servers url at debug.js and index.html
3. add line: <script src="debug.js" />
4. enjoy remote debugger

Note

if for some reasons console.log("something"), doesn't work, ie. the method doesn't get overwritten, use log("something") to send log to remote part.
