RealChat Software Version 1.7

Downloading and installing


Downloading

Download the proper archive and extract it to a temporary folder. The only difference between Linux and Windows distributions is the compression format used. There is also a start/stop utility named 'realchat' in the Linux distribution.

Installing

Copy the contents of the /server folder to a folder where you want your chat server to live.
For example:

/home/username/rcs/
Set the permissions of the start/stop script realchat to be executable.
chmod a+x ./realchat

Copy the contents of the /client folder to a folder inside your web server's document tree.
For example:

/home/user/public_html/chat/

If needed set file and folder permissions, so they can be readable.

chmod a+r *

The 'realchat' script ( UNIX/Linux only )

You need to modify the 'Config section' of the script to match your system configuration:

SERVERDIR="/home/username/rcs"
JAVADIR="/usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin"
TTY=null
