This's a quick tutorial to insert 123 flash chat into your webpage.
For advanced setting, please refer to Manual.pdf.
Step 1): Install the chat server and start the chat server
a) For Linux users
Please ssh or telnet your server, and enter following commands:
$ wget http://www.123flashchat.com/download/123flashchat.tar.gz
$ tar zxf 123flashchat.tar.gz
$ cd 123flashchat/server
$ ./fcserver.sh start
b) For Windows users
Firstly log in Windows desktop, download this file with download software:
http://www.123flashchat.com/download/123flashchat.exe
double click "123flashchat.exe".
Usually it takes only one minute to finish installation, chat server will then automatically start as NT Service.
c) For other system users, it's a bit more complicated, please refer to Manual.pdf for further instructions.
Step 2): Web server
From version 4.0, a web server is built into 123 flash chat server just for test, but we recommend a professianl web server like apache, IIS, etc. to integrate the chat client when you launch the chat officially.
To integrate the chat client to a web server other than the built-in web server, please:
copy "client" folder
copy the "client" folder to the web directory of your web server, but keep in mind:
DONNOT copy the "server" folder to protect them from being downloaded by chatters, which is very insecure. "server" folder should be already securely installed on the web server so far.
