Unable to receive messages in browser client - node.js

Question

I'm unsuccessfully attempting to create an pub-sub instant messaging service. I am unable to receive messages in browser client.
The following code is from my client1.html file. I believe the trouble I'm having relates to the client unsuccessfully subscribing to '/channel'. I've added the alerts and am receiving the 'BEFORE & AFTER' but not the 'DURING' and the message.text is not appearing on the console. Any thoughts as to why a client cannot see the messages on the browser would be appreciated.
var client = new Faye.Client('/faye',{
timeout: 20
});
alert("BEFORE client subscription");
client.subscribe('/channel', function(message) {
$('#messages').append('<p>' + message.text + '</p>');
alert("DURING client subscription");
console.log(message.text);
});
alert("AFTER client subscription");
The browser console repeats the following error repeatedly:
POST http://my.server#server:8000/faye 404 (Not Found)
This error points to 'faye-browser.js:2023' which refers to the following line:
xhr.send(Faye.toJSON(message));
EDIT
This is is the server.js file
var fs = require("fs");
var config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("config.json"));
var host = config.host;
var port=config.port;
var express = require("express");
var Faye = require('faye');
var bayeux = new Faye.NodeAdapter({mount: '/faye', timeout:45});
var app = express();
app.configure(function(){
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.static('/'+__dirname));
});
app.post('/message', function(request, response){
bayeux.getClient().publish('/channel', {text:request.body.message});
console.log('broadcast message:' + request.body.message);
response.send(200);
});
bayeux.attach(app);
app.listen(port);

I've just configured Faye for our application, you are doing
bayeux.attach(app);
app.listen(port);
did not work for me, what worked is this
bayeux.attach(app.listen(port, function() {}));
I also think that you should use the whole url when you are creating Faye, not just the final part, like so:
var client = new Faye.Client('http://my.url.com/faye', { timeout: 20 });
