Hey Don,

There was a bug in the nowjs on npm that has been fixed. Please uninstall nowjs (npm uninstall now) and reinstall nowjs (npm install now).

I uninstalled nowjs and re-installed. It seems to install the same
version. I could be wrong. I'm getting the same errors.

All I'm doing is starting the server, node server_now.js, and I get
the errors in terminal

This is the server_now.js

var fs = require('fs');
var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, response){
fs.readFile('client_nowjs.html', function(err, data){
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
response.write(data);
response.end();
});
});
server.listen(8181);

var everyone = require('now').initialize(server);

everyone.connected(function(){
console.log("Joined: " + this.now.name);
});

everyone.disconnected(function(){
console.log("Left: " + this.now.name);
});

everyone.now.distributeMessage = function(message){
everyone.now.receiveMessage(this.now.name, message);
};

Seems like the team started on load balancer.
You should install https://github.com/antirez/redis and
https://github.com/mranney/node_redis.
The latter is available as `npm install redis`

Best regards,

[Darshan Shankar]

Actually don't do that. The load balancer isn't meant to be in integrated into nowjs 0.6.0, we made a mistake.

Give us a few minutes, we will fix nowjs and publish to npm soon. Sorry for the bugs.

This has been fixed. Please reinstall NowJS.

Do "npm uninstall now" and "npm install now" again

I still get the error

TypeError: now.distributeMessage is not a function

[Nate Morse]

I am missing your thread of conversation on this,

Would you share the code/context that is causing this error? Or a simple (server and client code) example that exhibits this TypeError. 

--Thanks

Visit http://jayare.swakfm.com:8000
I run the nowjs in port 8000 and when I want to add text/message I got this kind of error in the console log
I used the example in the video.

[Nate Morse]

Your demo actually works for me, so unless you have fixed something, it might be an intermittent timing problem. 

You might try waiting for the "now.ready" event, before you do start up all your now code.

// see now.ready( function () { // added to wait for the now object to be fully initialized.

$(function(){

    now.ready( function () { // added to wait for the now object to be fully initialized.

        now.name = prompt("My name is?", "");

        console.log(now);

        now.receiveMsg = function(name, msg){

            $("<div></div>").text(name +" : "+ msg).appendTo("#msg"); 

        };

        $("#send").click(function(){

            var text = $("#text").val();

            now.distributeMsg(text);

            $("#text").val("");

        });

    });

})

[Jay Are Galinada]

It seems like it doesn't work that way, I've tried everything what I can do, but still, it doesn't work.
I also used the code above but the prompt function doesn't run.

--strange-- that it does not work for you. Using FF and Chrome it works for me, with no errors.

Are you seeing any errors?

[Jay Are Galinada]

Yeah, no errors and not running, and the prompt function doesn't execute in the first load as expected. However, the polling is executed every time.
I'm using Firefox v14.0.1 and Google Chrome v20.0.1132.57 m
This is my nodejs server configuration

var fs = require("fs");

var http = require("http");

var nowjs = require("now");

server = http.createServer(function(req, res){

    fs.readFile("index.html", function(err, data){

        res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});

        res.write(data);

        res.end();

    });

});

server.listen(8000);

// nowjs here

var everyone = nowjs.initialize(server);

console.log(everyone);

console.log(server.listen());

everyone.now.distributeMsg = function(msg){

    everyone.now.receiveMsg(this.now.name, msg);

};
