Sockets can't find source files in frontend

Im using the template for express and angular from this tutorial.

Installed socket.io using npm and the files are visible in node_modules. Server starts normaly (I hope) with info - socket.io started visible in the console.

I run it by changing the server.js file from the template.

var app = express()
    , server = http.createServer(app)
    , io = require('socket.io').listen(server)

and passing io to the files i'll be using it in like:

require('./config/routes')(app, passport, auth, io)

In the frontend (like in the example on sockets.io) website I add it by simply:

script(type='text/javascript', src='socket.io/socket.io.js')

but I get

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js

Any help would be appreciated!

Check your code for the way you are initializing web server listener socket. This is not socket listener, but web server one.

In express it is usually:

app.listen(3000);

But you need to do:

server.listen(3000);

*Assuming that this is problem taking in account lack of full source code and missing exactly that part in your question code.
