When do you receive this error? How did you configure your code and environment for sockets over tls? The error you provided means there is already a process running that occupies port 8081. You should kill that process first and restart your script for changes to take effect. Without other information, I can't help you further.

Will some one could explain me a bit about WebSocket Connection to the hosted server?

@kergdgreat @bmjhversteeg

I had an issue while connecting WebSocket (socketo.me) to the hosted server

For instance if the domain name is such that http://somelabz.ml/chatroom-php-mysq
How should I set the conn object
var conn = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8383');

@kergdgreat take a closer look to what @bmjhversteeg said.

the error your are reporting has nothing to do with websocket connection. you just happen to have some other service already running on port 8081 on the machine that you're tryin to run your websocket server.

if you are using laravel library cboden/ratchet for socket then go to app/Console/Commands/WebSocketServer.php Replace handle function with these lines of code and use your certification file path 'local_cert' and 'local_pk'

public function handle()
{

    $loop   = Factory::create();
    $webSock = new SecureServer(
        new Server('0.0.0.0:8090', $loop),
        $loop,
        array(
            'local_cert'        => '/opt/ssl/chamberstock_com.crt', // path to your cert
            'local_pk'          => '/opt/ssl/server.key', // path to your server private key
            'allow_self_signed' => TRUE, // Allow self signed certs (should be false in production)
            'verify_peer' => FALSE
        )
    );
    // Ratchet magic
    $webServer = new IoServer(
        new HttpServer(
            new WsServer(
                new WebSocketController()
            )
        ),
        $webSock
    );
    $loop->run();

I implemented nstechns suggestion, but I keep getting this error:
Object of class React\Socket\SecureServer could not be converted to string

Any clue on what am I missing?

Here is the code I am using :

   public function handle()
   {
      $loop = Factory::create();
      $webSock = new Server('0.0.0.0:8443', $loop);
      $socketServer = new SecureServer(
         $webSock, 
         $loop, 
         [	'local_cert' => 'certificate.crt',
            'local_pk' => 'private.key',
            'allow_self_signed' => true, 
            'verify_peer' => false
         ]
      );
      $server = IoServer::factory(new HttpServer(new WsServer(new WebSocketController())), $socketServer);
      $server->run();
   }
