Pusher Bad Gateway Error

Here’s how you can debug and resolve this issue:

—

### 1. **Check Your Pusher Configuration**
Verify the `Pusher` configuration in your `config/broadcasting.php` and `.env` files. Ensure the following values are correct:

In `.env`:

BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher
PUSHER_APP_ID=your-app-id
PUSHER_APP_KEY=your-app-key
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
PUSHER_HOST=your-host (if custom, e.g., for Reverb or Laravel WebSockets)
PUSHER_PORT=6001 (or your custom port)
PUSHER_SCHEME=http (or https if using SSL)
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=your-cluster (if using Pusher)

If you’re using Reverb, update `PUSHER_HOST` to your EC2 hostname and set `PUSHER_PORT` to `6001`.

—

### 2. **Verify Reverb Server is Running**
Ensure Reverb is running on port `6001` on your EC2 instance. Run the following command on your server:

sudo lsof -i:6001

If nothing is listening on `6001`, start your Reverb service:

php artisan reverb:serve --port=6001

—

### 3. **Check EC2 Security Groups**
Make sure your EC2 security group allows inbound traffic on port `6001`. Add a rule for:
– Protocol: TCP
– Port Range: 6001
– Source: Your specific IP or `0.0.0.0/0` (not recommended for production)

—

### 4. **Inspect Server Logs**
Check the Reverb logs for errors:

tail -f /path/to/reverb/logs.log

Or check Laravel logs for more details:

tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log

—

### 5. **Ensure Correct Hostname**
If your application is running on a domain or public IP, update `PUSHER_HOST` to the correct hostname in `.env`:

PUSHER_HOST=ec2-16-170-254-93.eu-north-1.compute.amazonaws.com

—

### 6. **Verify SSL Settings**
If you’re using HTTPS, ensure your Reverb server is configured for SSL. Update the `PUSHER_SCHEME` to `https` and verify your SSL certificates are valid.

—

### 7. **Test Connection with Curl**
Use `curl` to check if Reverb is reachable:

curl http://ec2-16-170-254-93.eu-north-1.compute.amazonaws.com:6001

If it’s unreachable, double-check the Reverb server setup, port, and firewall rules.

—

### 8. **Clear Laravel Caches**
Clear the configuration and cache to ensure changes are applied:

php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

—

### 9. **Update Dependencies**
Ensure your Reverb and Laravel versions are compatible:

composer update
npm install

—
