I have created a websocket with PHP and Ratchet library which works locally on WAMP and I have a server on AWS running Ubuntu Debian 18.04.
I am trying to move what I created locally to the server but am getting two errors.
The first is on the client saying: WebSocket connection to 'wss://localhost/socket' failed: WebSocket opening handshake timed out
The second is on the server saying: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Failed to listen on "tcp://0.0.0.0:443": Permission denied in /var/www/html/vendor/react/socket/src/TcpServer.php:165
A simplified version of my client would be:
<input type="hidden" value="'.$account_id.'" id="account_id">
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var conn = new WebSocket('wss://localhost:443/socket');
conn.onopen = function(e){
console.log("Connection Opened!");
var account_id = $("#account_id").val();
var data = {account_id: account_id};
conn.send(JSON.stringify(data));
}
conn.onclose = function(e){
console.log("Connection Closed!");
}
conn.onmessage = function(e) {
var data = JSON.parse(e.data);
console.log(data);
};
conn.onerror = function(e){
var data = JSON.parse(e.data);
console.log(data);
}
})
</script>
And my server is like this:
set_time_limit(0);
use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;
use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;
use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;
use Ratchet\Http\HttpServer;
use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;
require dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';
class socket implements MessageComponentInterface{
protected $clients;
public function __construct(){
$this->clients = new \SplObjectStorage;
echo 'Server Started.'.PHP_EOL;
}
public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $socket){
$this->clients->attach($socket);
echo 'New connection '.$socket->resourceId.'!'.PHP_EOL;
}
public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $socket) {
$this->clients->detach($socket);
echo 'Connection '.$socket->resourceId.' has disconnected'.PHP_EOL;
}
public function onError(ConnectionInterface $socket, \Exception $e) {
echo 'An error has occurred: '.$e->getMessage().'!'.PHP_EOL;
$socket->close();
}
public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $from, $json){
echo 'Connection '.$from->resourceId.' sent '.$json.PHP_EOL;
$data = json_decode($json, true);
$account_id = $data['account_id'];
foreach ($this->clients as $client) {
if ($from == $client) {
$client->send(json_encode($data));
}
}
}
}
$server = IoServer::factory(
new HttpServer(
new WsServer(
new socket()
)
),
443
);
$server->run();
I'm more of a front end developer so I'm lost when it comes to networking and apache config stuff, so here is what I've checked so far:

Edit 2
I've changed to port 8080 and had to allow traffic on AWS for this.
I also realized I was editing the wrong apache config file, /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf instead of /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf.
The full file is as follows:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
# SSL Engine Switch:
# Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.

# A self-signed (snakeoil) certificate can be created by installing
# the ssl-cert package. See
# /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz for more info.
# If both key and certificate are stored in the same file, only the
# SSLCertificateFile directive is needed.
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
# Server Certificate Chain:
# Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the
# concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the
# certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively
# the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile
# when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server
# certificate for convinience.
#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server-ca.crt
# Certificate Authority (CA):
# Set the CA certificate verification path where to find CA
# certificates for client authentication or alternatively one
# huge file containing all of them (file must be PEM encoded)
# Note: Inside SSLCACertificatePath you need hash symlinks
# to point to the certificate files. Use the provided
# Makefile to update the hash symlinks after changes.
#SSLCACertificatePath /etc/ssl/certs/
#SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
# Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL):
# Set the CA revocation path where to find CA CRLs for client
# authentication or alternatively one huge file containing all
# of them (file must be PEM encoded)
# Note: Inside SSLCARevocationPath you need hash symlinks
# to point to the certificate files. Use the provided
# Makefile to update the hash symlinks after changes.
#SSLCARevocationPath /etc/apache2/ssl.crl/
#SSLCARevocationFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crl/ca-bundle.crl
# Client Authentication (Type):
# Client certificate verification type and depth. Types are
# none, optional, require and optional_no_ca. Depth is a
# number which specifies how deeply to verify the certificate
# issuer chain before deciding the certificate is not valid.
#SSLVerifyClient require
#SSLVerifyDepth 10
# SSL Engine Options:
# Set various options for the SSL engine.
# o FakeBasicAuth:
# Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation. This means that
# the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. The
# user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.
# Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
# file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
# o ExportCertData:
# This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
# SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the
# server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client
# authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates
# into CGI scripts.
# o StdEnvVars:
# This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.
# Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,
# because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually
# useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the
# exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
# o OptRenegotiate:
# This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
# directives are used in per-directory context.

# SSL Protocol Adjustments:
# The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
# approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
# the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
# approach you can use one of the following variables:
# o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
# This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
# SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates
# the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
# this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
# mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
# o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
# This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
# SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
# alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
# practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
# this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
# works correctly.
# Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
# keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
# keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
# Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
# their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
# "force-response-1.0" for this.
# BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \

Now when I start the server I don't get any errors but on the client I see:
