Trigger Server event from client script

Hi, I have read a lot about server and client communication but can`t get the tiniest code to run correctly. I guess I have an understanding problem, maybe someone can show me the way…

I try to constantly post the time with print, to test and learn server client communication. I wrote this:

server.lua:

local _,_,_,h,i,j = GetPosixTime()
-- debug command
RegisterCommand("time", function()
    print (h,i,j)
end, false)
-- debug end
RegisterNetEvent('getTime')
AddEventHandler('getTime', function()
  print(h,i,j)
end)

client.lua:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
      TriggerServerEvent("getTime")
      Citizen.Wait(100)
    end
end)

The command time is working and I would expect that the CreateThread function is triggering constantly the EventHandler within the RegisterNetEvent and should print the time but it doesn`t, the time is only displayed when I enter the command /time. What am I missing?

Is the client script running? Both registered in fxmanifest.lua + actually running on the client.

Thanks, that hint was a keeper. Had a failure within my fxmanifest.
