EDIT: I have posted a fork of Brian's seed with all the changes given below:https://github.com/LossyHorizon/angular-socket-io-seed

I found this discussion while fighting this my self. I am updating my copy of
https://github.com/btford/angular-socket-io-seed before I begin a new project. I plan to submit my changes back to Brian Ford when I figure out how.

OLD package.json

    "socket.io": "~0.9.16", "jade": "~0.31.2", "express": "~3.2.6"

NEW package.json

    "socket.io": "1.1.*", "jade": "1.6.*", "express": "4.8.*", "serve-favicon": "2", "morgan": "1.3.*", "method-override":"*", //added missing , "body-parser": "1.8", "errorhandler": "*", "express-session": "*", "multer": "0.1.*"

You will need to explicitly add the middle ware that used to be just present, one line:

    var express = require('express');

Becomes a bunch of lines:

    var express = require('express'); var favicon = require('serve-favicon'); var logger = require('morgan'); var methodOverride = require('method-override'); var session = require('express-session'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var multer = require('multer'); var errorHandler = require('errorhandler');

OLD setup code:

    app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000); app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.use(express.logger('dev')); app.use(express.bodyParser()); app.use(express.methodOverride()); app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); app.use(app.router);

NEW setup code:

    app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000); app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.use(favicon(__dirname + '/public/favicon.ico')); app.use(logger('dev')); app.use(methodOverride()); app.use(session({ resave: true, saveUninitialized: true, secret: 'uwotm8' })); // parse application/json app.use(bodyParser.json()); // parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // parse multipart/form-data app.use(multer()); app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

This is the part that took me forever. Sadly once I worked this out I looked in express/lib/application.js, searched for app.listen and there is a wonderful comment that explains things quite nicely. Not sure why I was so slow to look up the source, though it looks like I am not alone in that. 

Demos, docs, most blog posts, say you start your app with this, and it works, but locks us out from using socket.io (http & https at the same time also).

    app.listen(app.get('port'), function(){ console.log('Express server on port ' + app.get('port')); });

This is functionally the same, but makes socket.io usage easy. Look up the source for app.listen() and you will see that this is what it is doing anyway.

    // could be/remain at top of file
    var http = require('http'); var server = http.createServer (app); // delete this line if NOT using socket.io var io = require('socket.io').listen(server); server.listen(app.get('port'), function(){ console.log('Express server on port ' + app.get('port')); });

I does not matter if you use the new express 'standard' syntax, or this syntax, the same http object is used either way, and as I recall http is a built in component to node.js anyway.

I hope this helps someone else.
