[lelchuck]

Got it to work ....

Now to figure out how to integrate it into PostNuke!!

thanks

[SWFKit]

Integrate it into PostNuke:

1. open <installed_server_dir>/etc/fcserver.xml , and edit it:
find:
<integrated-other-database>None</integrated-other-database>

change to:
<integrated-other-database>Mysql</integrated-other-database>

2. open <installed_server_dir>/etc/Mysql.xml
edit it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Mysql>
<database-host>your_db_host</database-host>
<database-name>your_nuke_db_name</database-name>
<database-user>your_db_user</database-user>
<database-password>your_db_password</database-password>
<user-table>nuke_users</user-table>
<username-field>username</username-field>
<password-field>user_password</password-field>
<enable-md5>On</enable-md5>
</Mysql>

3. restart 123 flash chat server


good luck,

Hi

I made the changes and this occurred

Starting the server ...
You database setting error , please check your user-table, username-field, password-field :Column not found, message from server: "Unknown column 'user_password' in 'field list'"
[cvhs2:Apache2/htdocs/123flashchat] lelchuck% java -cp lib/fcserver.jar:lib/log4j.jar:lib/jdom.jar:lib/xerces.jar:lib/mysql.jar:.* com.topcmm.jchat.MainServer

====

The proper username/password combo is pn_uname/pn_pass

I made these changes and re-started the server

thanks

java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/access.log (Permission denied)

It seems that the current user you are when starting the server don't have permission to access the file you created before, like I said I have no much experience on MAC system, but if in the unix system, you can use some command like:
chmod 666 log/access.log
to allow other users to access the file, try some similar command in MAC, or just delete the log/access.log file, and try again!

[lelchuck]

Thanks

Still the same error

[imported_admin]

please undo the changes in <installed_server_dir>/etc/fcserver.xml
edit it, and change:
<integrated-other-database>Mysql</integrated-other-database>

to
<integrated-other-database>None</integrated-other-database>

then restart the chat server, is there same error ?

[lelchuck]

I'll try in a couple of hours and report back .... thanks

[lelchuck]

that does not work now either ... whatever happened!

cheers

[imported_admin]

I think the reason is:the system user you started the server at the first time and the current system user you starting the server is not the same one, so the second user have not permissiton to write the file when the first user created.

just use the administrator user delete "logs" and "data" dir, and then login in with the common user, and start the server again!

[lelchuck]

Thanks for your valuable time on this.

After getting it to work with the java command that you provided on the previous page, I created a user with a user/pass.

At the same time that I followed your directions to have it link to my Mysql database, I changed the admin/admin in the .xml file to the same user/pass I had created earlier. I think that this caused the conflict.

Once I deleted both folders as you suggested, it started ok using it's own database. Ditto for linking to my Mysql database.

A couple of questions:
1. Am I ok to change the admin user/pass (in the .xml file) to my preferred one (as long as I did not log in to 123flashchat using that username OR is there a way to do it from within the browser?

2. Is these a way to restrict access to user rooms and then to allow a room to have breakout rooms? Eg. Only Math student sget to enter the Math room, and they can then subdivide into group rooms.

3. I am excited about the possibilities of adding voice and video if this is not too much of a stretch. Is this a possibility and what are the timefrasmes?

thanks again.
