//THIS WORKS FINE

var app = require('http').createServer(handler);
var io = require('socket.io').listen(app);
var static = require('node-static');
 
// Make all the files in the current directory accessible
var fileServer = new static.Server('./public');
 
app.listen(8000);
 
function handler(request, response) {
    request.addListener('end', function () {
        fileServer.serve(request, response);
    }).resume();
}
 
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
    socket.send('Welcome client');
    socket.on('message', function(msg){
	console.log('client message: ' + msg);
    });
    socket.on('disconnect', function(){
	console.log('client disconnected');
    });
});


//BUT THIS FAILS AND ALL I DID WAS MOVE .listen to the a new line?

var app = require('http').createServer(handler);
var io = require('socket.io');
io.listen(app);
var static = require('node-static');
 
// Make all the files in the current directory accessible
var fileServer = new static.Server('./public');
 
app.listen(8000);
 
function handler(request, response) {
    request.addListener('end', function () {
        fileServer.serve(request, response);
    }).resume();
}
 
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
    socket.send('Welcome client');
    socket.on('message', function(msg){
	console.log('client message: ' + msg);
    });
    socket.on('disconnect', function(){
	console.log('client disconnected');
    });
});
