can´t connect to chat

[Scubus]

hi

First of all, thanks for this great free software!

Well, i successfully tested the chatsoftware on my home windows pc.
Everything works fine so i decided to install it to my linux server.
And on that point my problems began.

In every case the chat tell me: "you must be connected to send messages".
I tried everything.
Changing rights in the data-folder or execution-rights in the src-folder.
Nothing happens.

I tried to get some informations in this forum by searching, but all hints i found had no effect.

Actually i have no idea how to get the chat working on my server.

Here are my settings in the index.php:

Code: Select all

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["language"] = "de_DE-informal";
$params["height"] = "540px";
$params["title"] = "Testversion";
$params["channels"] = array("Kaffee-Bar");
$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000);  // setup the intitial nickname
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

"isadmin" or not has no effect.

I hope for some help.

Can you provide a URL so we can troubleshoot?

Did your globals file get changed in any way? Did you at one point add a timeout parameter any kind?

Also, try this:
1. Close any browsers connected to the chat.
2. If your site is public and it's possible someone could be accessing it while you are performing this manual

rehash, comment out (put two slashes infront of) the line that reads

Code: Select all

$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

. Make sure to change it back in step 4.
2. In your FTP software, navigate to /yourchat/data/private/.
3. Delete both the chat and cache folders. If you wish to clear your logs, you can delete the logs folder as well (for set-ups with logging).
4. If you commented out the phpFreeChat line in 2, uncomment it now.
5. Navigate back to your chat in a browser. The cache will automatically set itself back up.

Hello

Thanks for the quick replies.

Here is the URL: http://www.eltern-treff.de/phpfreechat/index.php

And the Answers:
No, i didn´t change the globals file.
No timeout parameter is set.

The idea to deleted the cache, chat and logs in the data-folder i had already yesterday.
But restarting the chat after that, had unfortunately no effect.

Well, i will test and check some more this evening and will post my results.

I won´t give it up.

Could you grab the array outputs so we can take a look?

Code: Select all

  echo '<h2>Debug</h2>';
  echo '<pre>';
  $c =& pfcGlobalConfig::Instance();
  print_r($c);
  print_r($_SERVER);
  echo '</pre>';

Here's the error from Firebug:

pfc.setError('Du musst verbunden sein, um eine Nachricht zu schicken', Array());

Which translates to: Your must be connected to send a message

Hi

Ok, i setup the chat once more from the original tar.gz.

Here is the address with the Output directly under the Chat:
http://www.eltern-treff.de/phpchat/

I changed nothing but the initial username and the right of the directories.

But if i type in some words nothing appears in the chatwindow.

I got the same problem too. It appears the same error message; but it's in Thai.

My site is at:
http://itshee.com/chat/thaiwp/

Very strange problem... do you have any special server configuration ? maybe a special filesystem ?

[itshee]

I think I fixed it after I changed the PHP file. I saved it as ANSI instead of UTF-8. It works fine now.
