start notification-server.js. I mean are they included or I need to install them separately. Am getting this error No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Redis is a key-value store with publish/subscribe feature. You can download it from here. Nodejs can be founded here. They are separate softwares. If you’re using a linux distribution maybe you can find these 2 software in your package manager. After intalling and configuring, you have to start redis:
redis-server
After installing nodejs, you will be able to run nodejs applications on server side. On linux nodejs comes with package manager called npm. You have to go to the bin directory and type
npm install
this will read the package.json file and will install the dependencies. If you are on windows I think you should install the dependencies manually as the npm on windows is not stable yet, but I’m not 100% sure about it as I’ve never used nodejs on win.
When it’s done you can run
node notification-server.js
I hope this can help! If you have more question then feel free to ask.
I am using your extension and so far I got everything setup. The redis server is seeing Messages with PUBLISH "broadcast" "test"
however the message test does not get appended to the list the notification Widget is rendering. Firebug says everything seems to be fine. Do you have any idea where I could start to plug this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Best,

Oh and … notification server is running on another server but that shouldn’t be a problem or?
