problem with fresh install

[Kinkz]

Hi,

I am trying to set up PFC 2 on my server, but I cannot get it to work.

The chat is displaying and it prompts a visitor for a login, but it does not accept any. The error log seems to be filled with these errors.

Does anyone have an idea on where to look?

What is your PHP version ?
Does your web server have write on this folder: /var/lib/php/session/ ?

I am running PHP 5.3 with suPHP. The user did not have write permissions on the /var/lib/php/session/ so I have set a custom php.ini for the user. The user now has its own session folder and now I am getting these errors.

Did you give 777 rights to /var/www/free-web.nl/chat/server/data/ folder ?

Did you give 777 rights to /var/www/free-web.nl/chat/server/data/ folder ?

That solved the problem. But why is 777 needed?

Cause phpfreechat stores chat users and chat messages into this folder.
