    Reading up on everything this chat program is supposed to do..I find it mouth watering.  However, I simply do not understand the share complexity of setting up this CHAT progam.  For heaven's sake, could it get any more complex?
    I have to edit the apache httpd.conf file., I have to edit the php.ini file.  HELLO! This chat clearly assumes that I am on a dedicated server with total access to those files, and a clear willingness to mess with everything else on the server.  Much as I want...I think I'll pass, until they come up with a simpler instruction set that does not involve me scratching my head worrying bout the repercussions of changing my default apache document root, so I can install one chat program. :)

      Hi !

      Orginally this chat was designed to run on a dedicated server. We have a lot of response of people who want to run the chat on a ISP's Server. We're on our way to simplify the installation and do a better documentation and a better and easier handling in general.

      Greetz ... Stephan !

        I agree with queensoul.

        I would like to install this on my web site, but I do not own the web server.

        Are there any hacks to phpopenchat that look for the includes to a directory defined by a variable?

      if your apache supports .htaccess-files, you can do the following:
      create a .htaccess file
      write this into this file:
      php_value include_path ".:/include/dir"
      which /include/dir is set to the right path of the phpopenchat-include-dir
