Connect / node.js - creating a simple server -

i'm trying connect / node.js work nicely , simply. have following (in coffeescript)

connect = require('connect') io = require('socket.io')  server = connect.createserver(     connect.favicon()   , connect.logger()   , connect.static(__dirname + '/public') ).listen(8000)  socket = io.listen(server) socket.on 'connection', (socket) ->   socket.send({ hello: 'world' }) 

but keep getting following error:

typeerror: cannot call method 'listeners' of undefined 

it seems server not being initialized in time socket start listening..

compare with:

io = require ("socket.io") http = require('http')  server = http.createserver()  server.listen(8000)  socket = io.listen(server)  socket.on 'connection', (socket) ->   socket.send({ hello: 'world' }) 

which work...

probably because .listen() returns else. should work if rewrite code this:

connect = require('connect') io = require('socket.io')  server = connect.createserver(     connect.favicon()   , connect.logger()   , connect.static(__dirname + '/public') ) server.listen(8000)  socket = io.listen(server) socket.on 'connection', (socket) ->   socket.send({ hello: 'world' })
