Topic: Java chat error I don't understand... Tried installing chat on paid site.  (Read 2670 times)

I get error "status: Exception while connecting. Server down, firewall config or fil-URL applet."

I do have a paid account, and was trying to install a free java chat program on my site. However, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.


<APPLET CODE="chat.ChatApplet" ARCHIVE="http://www.tpgames.net/chat/VisualChat/webserver/chat.jar"
CODEBASE="http://www.tgames.net/chat/VisualChat" WIDTH=520 HEIGHT=400>
<PARAM NAME="CabBase" VALUE="chat.cab">
<PARAM NAME="Port" VALUE="5555">
<PARAM NAME="Room" VALUE="Lobby">
<PARAM NAME="DemoMode" VALUE="FALSE">
</APPLET>


How I installed it was installed everything on my desktop, and then uploaded everything onto the site. The chat works if I use their applet to go to their server's hosting site. But, I want to use my own website space so that I can customize everything myself, and save using their webserver.


Here's the link to their site with info on installation which totally confused me:
http://www.weirdoz.org/visualchat/embed.html
I did not understand where to put any of those codes.
Thanks!

It's what you do when you are a webmaster. LOL
Or what people do to my head, after I make a big mistake!

If I remember correctly, port 5555 is not a standard port and is blocked by the security firewall.

Leave it blocked then, because I can just connect with link to their server using html. It's okay. I'll just use it exclusively for the fan base part of my site.

I'll come up with another program for the children's part of the site, when I find one. I just wanted a program that was within itself so that children could talk with each other without being exposed to the adults. I've got 4 years to find something.  grin  (This program had graphics for rooms, so was more sociallly themeable.)

UPDATE: The rooms are not that themeable to my taste. It predefined themes. So, ditching the entire idea for now. Its just that with java, one needs to upload the images into the java program, and I can't do that on their server. Plus, I couldn't do that on my own site because I do not know how yet. I won't learn that until later this summer.  rolleyes

Try changing the port to something standard... maybe that would help:

<PARAM NAME="Port" VALUE="5555">

What would be a standard port? What you gave is exactly what I have now.

thanks! It didn't work. I'll just skip it. There's another forum I can go to for Java.
