Chat No Worky!

How come more S__t breaks than gets fixed with every update? I just checked my chat room. It opens fine, you can create rooms just fine but YOU CAN'T CHAT! Anything entered into the text box just goes off to lala land.

I'm getting so tired of this. My members are as well. 7.1 was supposed to be the final, obviously the only final is the final death of my use of Boonex products.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS S__T! I NEED TO DO OTHER THINGS IN MY LIFE THAN FIX THIS ALL THE DAMNED TIME!

Are you using RMS

Haha the chat not working...tell me something new :P

Yes, I'm using RMS. I hate RMS. On my old 7.09 site, the damned thing was constantly stopping. Every week or two, I had to login and restart it. Never figured out why. Now apparently, it's failing again and I'm on a whole new server.

It's just typical of a group of people that fly by the mantra 'that's good enough to sell' instead of taking the approach 'that's perfect, we've gotten all the bugs out and NOW it's ready for production'.

Nothing in this script works as advertised. So much of it works, 'sort of''. I've been a member of this community now since 2009 (4 years) and I have NOT had a fully functioning site yet......

They need to quit making 'new sh_t' and start fixing 'old sh_t'.

What mods use the RMS in Dolphin? I'm just going to design them out...

i poked around a bit and the rms server is ok on your site.  I added you to 3 of my rms servers and it still didnt work...

My guess is it could be a conflict with plesk ports and the plesk firewall. 

or try over writing the entire flash folder from a fresh copy of the 7.1 zip. (if you havnt changed any files in the flash folder that is.

Also one other thing you can try...  make a sub folder and install a fresh copy of dolphin in it and see how chat performs.. 

Lastly if you need a hand with any of it let me know. 

I know it's going to be something silly, it always is. I'm just tired of the constant tweaking this script requires.

 So are you still using this same RMS server that is for 7.0.9?

There are so many posted problems with 7.1 not working correct with 7.0.4 RMS you have to use the new version.

i wonder if the boonex team is aware there are problems with the chat they sell as part of their package?

hmmm - I dont have any need for videos on my 7.1 final, but on my 7.1 beta1 I am still using the old RMS, and its working fine. I installed it about 3 years ago and have not touched it since. Whats the quickest way for me to see what version I have.

 RMS has not one thing to do with converting video, except video comments.

If you look here on Boonex Start page, other downloads, they don't even have the older RMS server available to download.

Hosting companies will have to update if they want to keep customers..

Quoting AlexT, Administrator....

RMS 7.1.0 - is based on Red5 0.8 - this is only version we was able to make video comments work with

RMS 7.1.0 - should work with Dolphin 7.0.9

Old RMS 7.0.4 - should partially work with Dolphin 7.1, particularly there are problems with video comments

Ok so we are clear. What functions in 7.1 actually require RMS?

text based chat will work without it

audio/video chat rms needed
video comments rms needed
Whiteboard not sure.

boonex needs to dump the sh..ty.. flash.

 yes

i have a test site and production site and about the chat i never have problem with that.

About the services in case i have problem with the processor i have a crontab to check if available if not he start again 

here the script 

#!/bin/sh

RMSPATH=/home/user/rms71/rms/

RMSBIN=java

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

cd $RMSPATH

if [ `ps ux |grep java |grep rms | grep -v -c grep` = 1 ]

then

        exit

fi

./run_daemon.sh

 Oh cool! Thanks...

Back to the problem at hand. How come the text does not show up in the chatroom? Can't actually chat. I have checked all ports and folder permissions.

the only other thing i can think of is replacing the flash folder or rename the one that is there now and upload a zip of a clean flash folder and see what happens... 

Hello

SkyForum, the only reason chat text is not appeared in the chat is absense of any rooms there.

Please contact me via inbox and I'll try to help you.

There's three rooms there... I can make them and delete them and the two default rooms exist.

Contacting you now....

Ok, Rayz logged into my site and found an issue with the memberships? I'm going to let him explain.... My chat now works like it should. Thanks to Rayz for solving the problem for me.

Hi

The problem reason was incorrect permissions to smilesets directory indeed. Once the permissions were set correctly, then chat worked just fine.
