Then configure the following parameters:
$running_mode
Configuration reference:
$running_mode = 1; (only 1 or 2 or 3)

1. Chat server is hosted by your own ($running_mode = 1).
If your chat is hosted by your own, 123 Flash Chat server software should be installed at first, please download 123 Flash Chat.

Configuration path:
<XMB installed directory>/123flashchat/flashchatconf/config_local.php

Configure the following parameters:
$chat_group = "default";
$client_size_width = 634;
$client_size_height = 476;
$chat_data_path = "<123flashchat installed directory>/server/data/default/";
$primary_server_host = "localhost";
$primary_server_port = 51127;
$chat_client_root_path = “http://localhost/client”;
$swf_file_name = "123flashchat.swf";

2. Chat server is hosted by 123flashchat.com free of charge ($running_mode = 2).

Fourthly, integrate your chat with XMB user database, after doing that, users can auto-login your XMB chat, it means they won't have to enter their accounts again. If you choose running mode (1) or mode (2), you need to set Auth-URL by following the instructions below.

1. Log in the Chat Admin Panel.

2. Server Settings -> Integration ->DataBase -> SELECT: URL -> edit.

3. Change URL to
http://<XMB installed directory>/123flashchat/login_chat.php?username=%username%&password=%password%

4. Press OK to save your setting.

5. Restart chat server at Server Management -> Restart.

The following image describes how auth-URL integration works.

The Auth-URL application will perform as the communicating medium of the chat server and the database, i.e.: in fact, when a user logs on a chat server, the server won't connect to the user database directly, instead, it will send the username and password to the Auth- URL. Then the Auth- URL requests the database to authenticate the user. Finally, the Auth- URL will return the feedback to the chat server in a predefined way, whether approved or declined.

Integration done, enjoy your chat.
