httpServer accessable

[TheBenji]

Not sure that you guys already talked about it or want this stuff but it seems like it is impossible at the moment to hook something like socket.io up.

With this small commit the server is accessible and it's easy to hook something like socket.io in the callback up.

This is a good idea, cheers.

@JedWatson This is causing a real issue deploying to Heroku servers that took awhile to track down.

An ambiguous error of:

Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch

Is occurring after you deploy to Heroku. This is NOT related to Heroku attempting to run on port 3000, it's been assigned Heroku's default random port correctly.

Comparing the lines:

A. http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function() {
B. http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), app.get('host'), function() {

With B being the latest code, there doesn't appear to be a default 'host', thus falls back to 127.0.0.1 which seems invalid for Heroku.

Falling back to code A, the app runs on Heroku flawlessly.

What is 'host' supposed to be for a Heroku style setup?

Not sure that this is about that one but try to set your ENV-variable "IP" to "0.0.0.0"

Setting the env of IP to 0.0.0.0 on Heroku fixes the issue, thanks @TheBenji
