Paul, I too run Flashchat, version 4.5.7, and have happily served as many as
38 chatters at one time. Server load was off the hook, but it managed, and
I have my refresh set at 5 seconds.
Have you ever played with the FlashChat socket server? I have never been
able to get it to run. I had you install "screen" via yum to even run the
daemon starting script, but it never really started. When you check ps for
the presence of screen and the runServer.php command line, it isn't there.
The process number in the PID file isn't anywhere to be found either, so I
suspect that it can't start the socket server on the port I am trying to
use. I have tried 9090 and 1080 without success.
Any tips you could pass my way if you have it working would be appreciated.
Is there something else I may be overlooking?
