Download ParaChat Server v5

ParaChat Server v5.7
ParaChat can easily be configured to request an HTTP connection in the event a TCP/IP
connection fails (for example, if your firewall is prohibiting such a connection). This is our HTTP
Tunneling feature. To utilize this feature, we must look at both the server side and the client side
to ensure that both are configured to permit such a connection.
Server Side
Be certain that your ParaChat Server is configured to permit HTTP connections. In the
server config directory (.../ParaChat/ParaChat570/config) there is a file called
"pchatd.conf". In this file there is a section entitled "#pchatd parameters". Within this
section, you should see a line that says:
pchatd.allowTunneling=true
When the line states that pchatd.allowTunneling=true, then the chat server will permit
HTTP connections.
Client Side
Add the following parameter to the ParaChat room applet HTML to tell the chat room to
make an HTTP connection to the chat server if the TCP/IP connection fails:
<param name="net.Protocol" value="t:h">
Client & Server
Be certain that you have configured your ParaChat Server to reflect the same HTTP port
and Server port values that are in the chat room HTML. For example: IF the chat room
HTML states:
<param name="ServerPort" value="7777">
<param name="HTTPPort" value="7877">
THEN the server config file (.../ParaChat/ParaChat570/config/pchatd.conf) should state:
In the "#httpd parameters" section:
httpd.port=7877
In the "#pchatd parameters" section
pchatd.port=7777
pchatd.clientport=7777
Using the Clip Art (Emoticon) Library
All clip art image files (emoticons) that are used within the chat client are stored in the "clipArt"
directory within ParaChat Server's local file system:
.../ParaChat/ParaChat570/httpd/pchat/classes/clipArt/
If you wanted to utilize your own clip art image files for use within the ParaChat client, including
animated images, you would first add the image files to the "clipArt" directory. There are 4 basic
