Installation

To install the Java Chat Touring onto your Virtual Server, you will need to telnet to your Virtual Server and then do the following steps:

1. cd   (this will put you in your home directory)
2. tar -xvf /usr/local/contrib/ChaTour.tar
3. Uncomment out the AddType directive for CGI's in your srm.conf file.

   cd ~/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf
   open up the file srm.conf and find the line:
       #AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
   uncomment this line by removing the '#', i.e. change the line to:
       AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
   

4. Change the occurrences of "DOMAIN_NAME" in the chat.cgi and express.cgi scripts to be that of your domain name.
   • Change line 11 of chat.cgi from
         $docBase="http://www.DOMAIN_NAME/Chat/";
     to
         $docBase="http://www.[your domain name]/Chat/";
     for example:
         $docBase="http://www.company.com/Chat/";
     

     Change line 17 of express.cgi from
         $docBase="http://www.DOMAIN_NAME/Chat/";
     to
         $docBase="http://www.[your domain name]/Chat/";
     for example:
         $docBase="http://www.company.com/Chat/";
