Alexia Smith Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 File Name: ChatServe for IP.ChatFile Submitter: Alexia SmithFile Submitted: 09 Mar 2011File Category: ApplicationsInformation ChatServe for IP.Chat 1.2.x What is ChatServe? ChatServe is a back end server for IPS' IP.Chat. It supports all the current features, a few extra, and runs fully independent of IP.Board. Features:(Not necessarily a final list) *Runs independent of IP.Board/IP.Chat *Installation script *Helper script to point IP.Chat at your server *Send system commands The installation instructions require some experience in uploading and installing PHP software.Requirements to run ChatServe: IP.Chat 1.2.x PHP 5.2.0+(5.3.0+ recommended) PHP 5.2 is officially marked as end of life support by the PHP Team. PHP 5.3 is matured and is highly recommended for production use of ChatServe. MySQL 5.0+(5.1 recommend) ChatServe officially supports UTF8 with utf8_unicode_ci or utf8_general_ci encoding.(This will be setup automatically if your server supports it.) Your MySQL installation must support InnoDB. If you host your own database servers and can upgrade them, I highly recommend using Percona's drop in InnoDB replacement for maximum performance and reliability. Memcache support will be dropped for the initial release of ChatServe due to the lack of testing. I want this feature to work 100% before enabling it. Server Requirement Notes You can run this on shared hosting, but you will be limited in the number of users! These examples are general observations, may not fit your specific hosting arrangement, and are based entirely on the number of requests per second to the server. A typical cheap $5 a month shared hosting plan may be able to support 10 to 50 online. A VPS may support any where from 50 to 500 online. A dedicated server with a quad core CPU and 8gbs of RAM will support 500 to 1,000 users online depending how chatty they are! Active chat room users / polling speed = Average requests per second to the server. The default IP.Chat polling speed is once every three seconds. Example average requests per second for 250 users: 250 / 3 = 83.3333 Most unoptimized PHP installations peak out around 100 requests per second. A well optimized installation running PHP-FPM or PHP-FastCGI with nginx in front should be able to handle much more. Click here to download this file Link to comment
amxx.pl Hiroshima Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Great work, but I had to change paths ( $config['server_path'] and const MASTERSERVER ) manually. Link to comment
Sammy Nicole Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 It works with Opera but not with Firefox... EDIT: Yes, Opera likes it, IE likes it, Chrome likes it...it's just Firefox that doesn't load the chatroom. EDIT 2: Had a look in your forum's chat using Firefox, not working either. So the script doesn't like Firefox. Can you fix this? Link to comment
