this example is chat room, source code in example/chat

• Step 1(download and compile)

  cd {$FOOKING_PATH}
  make
• Step 2(start fooking router server)
  cd src
  ./fooking ../router.lua
• Step 3(start fooking gateway server)
  ./fooking ../config.lua
• Step 4(start fastcgi server, e.g php-fpm) service php-fpm start(if it was started please skip this step)
• Step 5(test) modify websocket server host and port in example/chat/index.html(search 'ws://')
