Chat problem

Post by marmor »

I think this problem is host created and cant be solved but i give it a try
I got a private web and file server at home,running Ubuntu server that mostly is used for template designs and testing purposes , using latest phpbb 3.1.6
and this chat, it works perfect ,

however installing the chat on my live site on x10 . creates a problem, on index page chat shows as wanted but noting u type show up its not the font color, what u type simple ends up nowhere and chat center link at top basically make a weird index of page, no chat at all. but seeing i got exact copy of webpage on my private server it most be host created, i think any suggestions?

not sure what to say as some hosts will not allow any type of chat to run on their system as it can put a fair amount of load on the CPU. so some will block the functions of chat. without knowing the host you have or seeing exactly what's going wrong makes it hard to say

to be honest, i don't know what is stopping chat from working unless it has something to do with the front end you have phpBB installed under that is preventing the routing. did you try any other extensions that use routing? like the rules extension or pages?

only ting i tried is this chat and mchat, and every setting i can think of xd ,but the replica site on my own server server everything works on, to make it even weirder i checkt the database, phpbb_ajax_chat is empty, so can it be a database communication error of some sort, i kinda given up finding out what causing this myself, im totally out of ideas

Did not need to be so drastic, i compered old with new forum settings and found the problem, for anyone having this problem turn of URL Rewriting: under server settings, works like a charm after that :)
ty spaceace for this mod and for trying to help
