Question
Why can't I connect to my websocket server?

Hello,
I set up a droplet a year ago using the ‘wordpress-ubuntu’ image. The website is https://retrorazed.com. This works fine.
Now I want to run a nodejs websocket server on the same droplet that’s running this LAMP server. When I try to connect to wss://159.203.58.166:61231 or wss://retrorazed.com:61231, I get "WebSocket connection to ‘wss://retrorazed.com:61231/’ failed: " and no useful error information.
The server is running from “/var/www/server/” and I’ve opened port 61231 from anywhere. I’ve tried a million different things and I’m not sure what I’m missing. What kinds of things should I be looking at that would prevent me from connecting?
Thank you!
