Deploy Nginx, Socket IO, Linode 404 error - node.js

Question

I have been struggling trying to deploy a NodeJS server as SocketIO server on Linode. I have deployed my Django projects that works fine and I have redirected a subdomain to talk to the node server listening on port 8002 of local host.
I get a 404 error in my nginx log.
"GET /socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling HTTP/1.1" 404 72 "-" "Dalvik/2.1.0 (Linux; U; Android 5.0.1; LG-D850 Build/LRX21Y)"
Here is my nginx config
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
location /static {
alias /home/exampledir/staticfiles;
}
access_log /home/exampledir/nginx-access.log;
error_log /home/exampledir/nginx-error.log info;
}
server {
listen 80;
server subdomain.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8002;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}
}
Here is my nodejs server file
var socket = require('socket.io');
var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var app = express();
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(8002, '127.0.0.1');
var io = socket.listen(server);
var redis = require('redis');
var sub = redis.createClient();
sub.subscribe('notify');
io.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('join', function (data) {
...
});
});
//Grab message from Redis and send to client
sub.on('message', function(channel, message){
...
});
I have tried using CORS and stuff but it does not work just keeps giving me a 404. I have verified the node server is running at 127.0.0.1:8002
My android socket is connecting to
mSocket = IO.socket("http://subdomain.domain.com/);
Please help.

Try this config
server {
listen 80;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
location /static {
alias /home/example-dir/staticfiles;
}
access_log /home/example-dir/nginx-access.log;
error_log /home/example-dir/nginx-error.log info;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name subdomain.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8002;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
access_log /home/example-dir/socketnginx-access.log;
error_log /home/example-dir/socketnginx-error.log info;
}
