@dougblackjr which laravel-echo-server.json file are you using to run echo-server? If you're running dev version then start echo server with laravel-echo-server.dev.json file, like below
laravel-echo-server start --dir=laravel-echo-server.dev.json

@Hasnayeen Using the production one. Here is my current config (with some variables changed):

{
  "authHost": "https://url-of-site",
  "authEndpoint": "/broadcasting/auth",
  "clients": [
    {
      "appId": "bec9d450fbf2af78",
      "key": "adeb2fe782d9d3dcd955ac5a88aff184"
    }
  ],
  "database": "redis",
  "databaseConfig": {
    "redis": {},
    "sqlite": {
      "databasePath": "/database/laravel-echo-server.sqlite"
    }
  },
  "devMode": false,
  "host": null,
  "port": "6001",
  "protocol": "https",
  "socketio": {},
  "secureOptions": 67108864,
  "sslCertPath": "/etc/nginx/ssl/------.crt",
  "sslKeyPath": "/etc/nginx/ssl/------.key",
  "sslCertChainPath": "",
  "sslPassphrase": "",
  "subscribers": {
    "http": true,
    "redis": true
  },
  "apiOriginAllow": {
    "allowCors": false,
    "allowOrigin": "",
    "allowMethods": "",
    "allowHeaders": ""
  }
}

My only question is whether the app ID and key need to be changed, those both came over what was in the repo.

[Hasnayeen]

ID and key doesn't need to be changed, after starting echo server do you see any error? what's the last few output lines?

[dougblackjr]

No error, just says that server is started.

L A R A V E L  E C H O  S E R V E R

version 1.6.0

Starting server...

✔  Running at localhost on port 6001
✔  Listening for http events...
✔  Listening for redis events...

Server ready!

[Hasnayeen]

any error on console? also check the network tab for socket.js call, whats the response of that?

[dougblackjr]

socket.js call times out without any response.

Error in console is Echo is not defined.

[Hasnayeen]

check the url for socket.js call?

[dougblackjr]

Correct, that file is not in the repo. Did I miss a step in the installation process?

[Hasnayeen]

maybe reinstall laravel-echo-server , socket.io is a dependency of laravel-echo-server and will be available from echo server not from repo public directory

[dougblackjr]

I just went ahead and moved to pusher for now. Thank you!

sorry could not help you further, but hopefully you figured it out
