I got the lates 1.0Beta4 installed with the simple config from the INSTALL file.
I get the following error:

Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
Received:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><xjx><cmd n="js"><![CDATA[pfc.handleResponse('connect', 'ok', '');]]></cmd></xjx>
You have whitespace in your response.

please could you give me the public url of your chat ?

I modified the index.php: removed all comments, removed all whitespaces and all empty lines and now it works

Very strange, but it works now.
didnt change any code in index.php just removed blanks and comments.

Did you have some blanks before the first <?php tag ? it could explain the problem.

I'm seeing a similar issue but the error window that responds has the contents of my login page's html,

why is the page parsing the page that lead to the chat? none of that page's content is at all interesting to pfc.

I did add some php to the top that checks to see if you have logged in and redirects if not , that all works... the problem is once it passes my html it appears to be using passing back to the browser the html for my login page as an xml entity to parse.. I can't figure out why...

I experienced this problem when I was trying to run with debug mode on ... It didn't seem to like any of the ajax callbacks. When I removed the debug / ajaxdebug parameters things seemed to work properly.

strange, i try with beta 3 and that make exactly the samething ... exactly the same error

i try with setup.php and not working too

In fact it depends on your php.ini errors reporting flag.
So on some server where errore reporting flags is setup to show the warnings, the errors will occurs.

I got the same problem when having two different pages to point to the same serverid. I guess because the original page is stored in the /private/cache, whoever came in later will always send request to the first page.

I worked around the problem by creating a response.php page:

<?php
session_start();

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["serverid"] = $_SESSION['chat_serverid'];
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
?>

and in phpfreechat.class.php, replace the line:
$this->xajax = new xajax($c->server_script_url.(isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "" ? "?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] : ""), $c->prefix);

with
$this->xajax = new xajax('./response.php', $c->prefix);

So in the two pages, after setting serverid param, I also set it to $_SESSION['chat_serverid'].

A benefit from this solution is that the load on server will be reduced. Normally my two pages have to verify client id, query database for other information to display. And if the chat keep asking for the same page every 5 seconds, the same routine (verify, query db) repeats every 5 seconds. The response.php page will only handle the chat, no more than that. And because the channel is set internally, it's secured I think.

just my 2 cents, and thank Stephane so much for such a great project.
