RealChat Software 2.0

3.2.2. Configuration directives reference



Server-specific Directives

These are the directives related to client-to-server connection. The only mandatory parameter is PORT.



PORT

Type: number
Default: 8080

The client will, by default, try to connect to the host it was downloaded from, on the specified port number, i.e. PORT must correspond to the value you set for ServerPort directive in your RealChatServer.conf file.

HOST

Type: hostname or IP
Default: not set

On a multihomed system, you might want to embed the chat client into a page on a web server other that the one running your chat server. Use the HOST parameter to specify where the applet should connect to. See also the ExternalClientHost server config directive.

channel

Type: text
Default: not set

This would allow you to link directly to specific chat room, other than the default one. Note that channel should correspond to a valid RoomName tag in your server configuration. The room should not be password-protected.

Tip: If the room does not exist, the server will create it on-the-fly, and keep it until there are no users left.

Type: text
