OpenCHAT INSTALL DOWNLOADING OpenCHAT is freely avaiable from http://sourceforge.net/project/openchat/ Please allways download the latest release. PREREQUISITES In order to install OpenCHAT you will need a Java VM installed (JRE). I've been using the one from Sun Microsystems, which is freely avaiable for everyone at htt://java.sun.com/. Others Java VMs than Sun's one may not work. OpenCHAT have only been tested on Sun's JRE. I've tried the gij, the GNU libgcj which comes on some Linux Ditributions, but I've found some problems like strange Exceptions being thrown and latin characters being cut! INSTALLING Untar the OpenCHAT-X.XX.tar.gz file and cd to the newly created directory: # tar -xzvf OpenCHAT-X.XX.tar.gz # cd OpenCHAT Startup the server and connect with your browser (see bellow). STARTUP THE SERVER OpenCHAT is entirely written in Java. To start up the server, type the following in the OpenCHAT directory: # java -cp OpenCHAT.jar OpenCHAT or # java -jar OpenCHAT.jar Where java is your java interpreter. Sun's JRE is highly recommended. CLIENT CONNECTING / CHATTING From any HTTP browser, whith frames support, type in the URL: http://your.server.com:8080/ Where "your.server.com" is the IP number or domain of the server you've started up the OpenCHAT server.
