RE: [cobalt-users] Installing DigiChat on a RaQ4

["First Hosting Sales" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Carrie,

Just what I wanted... Shame MS are not shipping Java with IE6.

Can you confirm steps 11 to 16, as they are scolling on my copy of the
email you posted. Especially line 14 - does it have an '&' on the end?

Just thought I had better check ;-)

11. Type:
   java -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole 

12. You should see the server starting up and asking you where to put
the DigiChat files. Put them in a web-accessible directory, such as
/home/sites/home/web/DigiChat. Hit enter. 

13. The server is now running and will stop when you CTRL-C out of it. 

14. To get it to run without you watching it, type:
   java -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole > /dev/null & 

15. You'll see a little line like: [1]5565. The server is now running in
the background. 

16. Supposedly the server will fire up on its own if you put the line
from #14 into /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Cheers,

Ian.

http://www.allaboutchoice.com/downloads/jre-1.3.1.i386.rpm
2.   rpm -U jre-1.3.1.i386.rpm
3.   Follow the ftp directions to download the DCServer file from
Digichat.com:
      http://www.digichat.com/Downloads/cmdlineunix.html
	I have found that when I just wget the file, it gives me
problems when trying to start the server. FTP 	method always comes
through nice and clear.
4.    gzip -df DCServer.tar.gz
5. tar xvf DCServer.tar
6. Open /etc/profile with pico and add this line to the path:
	
:/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin:/path/to/DigiChat
7. Save file and close
8. Exit out of root.
9. Enter back into root to refresh the profile
10. Ask java what version it is to see if the path is working:
					java -version
11. Type:
   java -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole 12. You should see the server
starting up and asking you where to put the DigiChat files. Put them in
a web-accessible directory, such as /home/sites/home/web/DigiChat. Hit
enter. 13. The server is now running and will stop when you CTRL-C out
of it. 14. To get it to run without you watching it, type:
   java -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole > /dev/null & 15. You'll see a little
line like: [1]5565. The server is now running in the background. 16.
Supposedly the server will fire up on its own if you put the line from
#14 into /etc/rc.d/rc.local. However, mine doesn't seem to like to do
that. I have to go in by hand and fire it up.

Ta-da!
PS - watch for line wrap in the email with respect to command lines.
