POC -PhpOpenChat- Portal

I was asking if it would also be necessary to change 30 to 120. I suppose so.

I did.

The chat is not functional.

Thanks, Horseman! Editing away those other languages did the trick. Now the flags don't display, so there will be no errors.

I tried the .htaccess file, and I got a 500 error. I deleted the .htaccess file and the chat started right away. I may have made a mistake when I made the file. Here's what I put:

# Session lifetime 30 Minutes
php_value  session.gc_maxlifetime  7200

I uploaded it to the server as a .txt, then changed the name of the file to .htaccess

O! Do I need to make it say 120 Minutes?!?!? 
That works to make the chat come up, but when I type into the chat no words appear.

Thank you, Horseman. I guess I don't have a root server. I have a regular website hosted on a regular domain. I think you mean I would need to have my own server, which I do not. So my chatters will get logged out after 24 minutes. I suppose we can deal with that.

On another note; I fried my entire chat tonight when I clicked on one of the flags. I know why, though, and it's because I deleted all those language files before I ever uploaded the openchat program. I see now that I will have to start off fresh with a clean install. Live and learn! I had wanted to trim down the application and have no need for all those languages, but I guess the chat just won't run without them.

Hello,
What does this mean?

7. Change configuration settings of Apache webserver in httpd.conf and PHP in php.ini
Increase the automatic time-out in /etc/php.ini. If you don't do this, people will be "logged out" of their sessions after ~24 minutes.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 86400

I do not know where httpd.conf or php.ini are located.

Are they in the database?

you can integrate it with phpBB

which version did you download, as

version 3.0.2 has an install file with it that has instructions, as well as a file to integrate with phpBB
version 3.0.2p2 has tutorials in German but the install file and integration file are missing, although i used the 3.0.2 versions

you will also need to read your config.inc.php file as there are some settings you will want to change, (read my first post in this forum as i asked the same question)
