[cgiirc-general] CGI-IRC problem

[ObiWan <ob...@sy...>]

Hi
=20
I installed CGI-IRC and have an odd problem with it..
I can log into my server and see everyone there and what they type but I =
can't type or use any of the features (help/options/whois)
once in a while I can type a few words when I first join but then it =
stops again.. I type the words and nothing gets to the channel.
Here is what I have tried >=20
used the default socket prefix /tmp/cgiirc- at first and had this =
problem
Wanted to make sure it was working so then I created a new path for the =
tmp socket files so that I could see if they are being created as I log =
in and I did change the path to point to it in config.cgi and =
client-perl.cgi checked and the socket files were being created there =
ok..
Next I tried going from ver 0.5.4 to ver 0.5.5perl same thing happens =
checked all my file and dir attribs and they are set ok
once in a while I will get a screen pop up that says "about blank"  and =
I added the interface=3Dnonjs extention to see what error would come up =
and I get a "An error occured: Communication socket already exists" but =
checking the tmp socket dir  there are no files there when I get that =
error.
My host informed me that there shouldn't be a problem from their end =
using CGI-IRC
Had a few others try it and they get the same problem they can't type to =
the channel either.
Any thoughts or ideas that might help?
