Socket.io server not runnning - node.js

Question

i'm developing a chat app in express by socket.io and this is my code:
well the front end cannot connect to socket io but server is running and i can login
const express = require("express");
const { Server } = require("socket.io");
const helmet = require("helmet");
const cors = require("cors");
const authRouter = require("./routes/authRouter");
const { corsConfig } = require("./controllers/serverController");
const {
Authorization,
AddFriend,
Disconnect,
dm,
} = require("./controllers/socketController");
require("dotenv").config();
const app = express();
const server = require("http").createServer(app);
const io = new Server(server, {
cors: corsConfig,
});
app.use(helmet());
app.use(cors(corsConfig));
app.use(express.json());
//! Routes
app.use("/auth", authRouter);
app.get("/", (req, res) => res.send("Hi"));
io.use(Authorization);
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("socket")
socket.on("add_friend", (friendName, cb) => {
AddFriend(socket, friendName, cb);
});
socket.on("disconnect", Disconnect);
socket.on("dm", (message) => dm(socket, message));
});
server.listen(5050, () => {
console.log(app.get("env"));
});
but my server isnt running on localhost:5050 this is the error i got :
curl "http://localhost:5050/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=polling" curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5050: Connection refused
ive tried to change config of socket server but none of those worked
i have a socketjs file which will create my config and a useEffect hook which inside that ive tried to connect to my server
frontendCode:
socket.js
import { io } from "socket.io-client";
const socket = (user) =>
new io("http://localhost:5050", {
autoConnect: false,
withCredentials: true,
auth: {
token: user.token,
},
});
export default socket;
useSocket.js:
socket.connect();
socket.on("friends", (FriendList) => {
setFriendList(FriendList);
});
socket.on("messages", (messages) => {
setMessages(messages);
});
socket.on("dm", (message) => {
setMessages((prev) => [message, ...prev]);
});
socket.on("connected", (status, username) => {
setFriendList((prev) => {
const friends = [...prev];
return friends.map((friend) => {
if (friend.username === username) {
friend.status = status;
}
return friend;
});
});
});
socket.on("connect_error", () => {
setUser({ loggedIn: false });
});
returned error from frontend:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:5050/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket&sid=1uKM4znamAHH8P6kAAKY.
