PhpOpenChat installation problems

[fatabbot]

Hi,

I'm trying to install php openchat to a webserver but keep getting errors.

when i run myserver/chat/test.php all fields are green, so i suppose all is set up correctly.

So when i go to myserver/chat/index.php i get the following error:

at /myserver/chat/include/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php:22
[2048] var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers

Could not connect to database! Please check your database setup in config.inc.php by using the POC Installer!

And the database and tables are all there, and the connection string is correct in config.inc.php

So than i try install.php, in step 1 all checks are green, but when i click NEXT to go to step 2, i get:

Warning: require_once(config.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in myserver/chat/install.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in myserver/chat/install.php on line 2

Also, when i check my files in the folder, i notice that config.inc.php is removed after install.php is opened.

Ok now i finished the installation, even the tables get initialized and all. And still i get this error when going to index.php:

at /myserver/chat/include/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php:22
[2048] var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers

Could not connect to database! Please check your database setup in config.inc.php by using the POC Installer!

Hello.

I have the same problem, the installation procedure finished fine, but when I tried to access the initial page, I receive the same error.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you for your help.

I am in the same club, except the error occurs on line 21. The installation went through, but running the chat I am getting the below.

Thank you for your help.

===ERROR MSG===

is anyone home ?
5 years later, and I now am knocking on the same door as the OP.
has this issue been fixed ?
is anyone in the US using this successfully ?
Do the devs speak english ?

none of the links or email addresses went anywhere. This thread is as close to posting an issue as I can get.
thanks for nothing for FREE !

Open up "/path/to/install/include/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php" and go down to line 371

Change it from:
function &MetaColumns($table)

Change it to:
function &MetaColumns($table, $upper = true)

And it should work ... at last as far as getting past the database error.

BTW I have nothing to do with this project, just looking to have something like this for my site so please do not ask me for any help as I am just as lost as everyone else (except for this part of course).
