Connection Failes

[dhunt]

Connection failed! Maybe your network can't access the server, or the server is under maintenance, please try again later!

I have it installed on a Win2k machine, running Omnipro as a server.

I copied the suggested files onto the server. Edited the xml file.

I have the below code on a chat.html page:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=5,0,0,0" width="634" height="476">
<param name=movie value="123flashchat.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="123flashchat.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...hockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="634" height="476">
</embed>
</object>

And I get the error. It does run without the server but now with the server.

IT looks real good but just doesn't seem to work with the server. If there is a way to run it as it's own server, I don't see it. And following the instructions won't allow it to run on the server.

Any ideas?

could you give me some detail of your configuration ?

1. did you start the chat server when you're testing in browser ?
to test whether the chat server has been started successfly, just stop the server firstly, then start it in console mode, check the output whether it says "started successfully" or any error messages.

2. what's the url with the chat flash client in your browser ?

3. what the value of host in the client.xml ?

Server was started for testing and was online. Works when it's done off the HD and not the Httpd Server.

http://colwest.com/chat.html

the value is http://colwest.com

OK, I checked your chat server is started, but you have to change the host value in client.xml to:
colwest.com
not the
http://colwest.com

and one more thing, you have to copy the skin dir to your web dir(http://colwest.com/skin/) so that the swf can load the skin.

Okay, that worked kinda.

Now the error reads:
Error to load skin color.xml file

I have the skins directory just below the server root and the necessary files and directories according to the directions.

Still not quite a go.

your client.xml have an error:
http://colwest.com/client.xml

<loadRootPath value="http://colwest.com/">
should be
<loadRootPath value="http://colwest.com/" />

don't forget the "/" in the end of xml row
