I’m using NodeJS v0.4.8 and the latest Version of socket.io from
npm install socket.io
on Ubuntu:
Linux m
I also(like Derrish) like to use express framework to simplify my work(AWESOME :)). You can download and extract this sample from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/314941/socketio.zip. I believe you don't even have to install these modules because I have bundled them locally(just run) thanks to npm :).

on start, but probably you can't see this because it will be replaced with connected
.connected
when the user connects to socket.io.Waited two seconds!
I took your example and dropped it in an a node app using express. Your HTML code was placed in a static HTML file under public. Your example worked fine. The code is shown below. I wanted to make sure both the socket.io script file and the HTML file were being served up properly.
var http = require('http'),
io = require('socket.io'),
express = require('express');
var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
// Configuration
app.configure(function(){
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(app.router);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});
if (!module.parent) {
app.listen(9000);
console.log("server started at %s", (new Date()).toUTCString());
console.log("listening on port %d", app.address().port);
}
// socket.io
var socket = io.listen(app);
socket.on('connection', function(client){
console.log("New client is here!");
client.send("hello world");
client.on('message', function(msg){ console.log("client has sent:"+msg); }) ;
client.on('disconnect', function(){ console.log("Client has disconnected"); }) ;
client.on('disconnect', function(){ })
});
var express = require('express');
var app = express.createServer();
var socket = require('socket.io');
app.configure(function(){
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/'));
});
var server = app.listen(8081);
var io = socket.listen(server);
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("connnect");
socket.on('disconnect', function (socket) {
console.log("disconnect");
});
});
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8081');
</script>
