Having trouble with mChat lately

[Mike86]

Hey I recently switched hosts and simply copied everything over (files and database) to my new host. Everything is working except mChat. I uninstalled mchat and attempted to reinstall it as it was not accepting new messages, you would type a message and press send and nothing would happen. During reinstalling, when I get to the .....mchat_install.php file part, I get a lovely 403 Access denied in my browser. And I can't figure out what the heck is wrong. Let me know what I need to post for addition tech info.

With reading some previous topics, it seems it could likely be the host, so I'm contacting them and I'll update when I hear back from them.

Edit: I see that mchat is still installed on your board so below is how can you fix the problem with submitted messages.

Open overall_header.html

Delete Remove the preceding lines

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/jquery.js"></script>

Purge cache.

Neculai, what does that have to do with mchat_install php file stating 403?

To the OP ignore what Neculai stated and via FTP check the permissions on the file (they should be set to 644) and if set correctly your new host may not allow ajax based chats so you would have to check with them.

[Neculai Anișor]

He doesn't need to run the install file anymore.

[RMcGirr83]

And you know that how?

[Neculai Anișor]

I saw his site xD

Well I just put in all the old files so everything is there. But the chat doesn't work when you click send. And if you click on any of the buttons like, Archive, Purge it goes right to that 403 access denied page. I did remove that line from the overall_header file but still doesn't work. And the chmod permissions are correct . Might have to look for a host that will allow your mod lol

[Neculai Anișor]

Try the mod on prosilver without any jquery except for jquery mini and cookie mini and that's how you can find out if there is a problem with your host or your style.

[RMcGirr83]

Enable the mod for guests.

[Mike86]

It's enabled for guests for now

Place this in your overall_header.html file

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROOT_PATH}mchat/jquery-1.5.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROOT_PATH}mchat/jquery_cookie_mini.js"></script>


before this in the same file

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/jquery_scrollto.js"></script>

then remove this in your overall_header file

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_MCHAT_ENABLE and (S_MCHAT_ON_INDEX or U_MCHAT) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROOT_PATH}mchat/jquery-1.5.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROOT_PATH}mchat/jquery_cookie_mini.js"></script>
<!-- ENDIF -->

and refresh your template in the ACP.

You also have an error in editor.js so remove this

Code: Select all

      {
try
      {

and this

Code: Select all

}
      catch(e)
      {
      }

you will have to refresh your browsers cache after making that change. As far as mchat.php tossing a 403, that would be a question for your host if the permissions are set correctly on the file (should be 644).

[RMcGirr83]

BTW, is your account a free account at byet?

[Mike86]

Yes it is a free account. I made the changes in both files and refreshed everything and it's still not working and showing 403 error.

[Neculai Anișor]

What version of mchat are you using?
