I'm sorry, but i think you should be more specific.

I can't give you the right recipe for a good solution, but i think you're choosing the wrong platforms to make a messenger-chat.

Try look at NodeJS and maybe use Socket.io to communicate through.

Socket.io has an example on how to make a simple chat. You can use the example as a starting point for your project.
