Web server
123 Flash Chat Server Software includes a temporary web server JUST for testing purpose. But when you launch the 123 Flash Chat Server officially, a professional web server is strongly recommended, such as Apache, IIS, etc.
To integrate the chat client to a web server other than the built-in web server, please follow the steps below:
a) copy the "client" folder
Copy the "client" folder to the web directory of your web server, but keep in mind:
Note: DO NOT copy the "server" folder to protect it from being downloaded by chatters, which is very insecure. The "server" folder should already be securely installed on the web server automatically so far in the installation process.
b) edit client.xml
Please leave the host value to "*" if the chat server and the web server (which hosts the 123flashchat.swf file) are located on the same server.
If the SWF file is on another web server, then you should set the host value according to the chat server domain name or IP address.
The port value in client .xml should be identical with the one in fcserver.xml.
