Streaming Media Server Installation

All flashcoms free packages of videochat are using Flashcoms streaming media hosting service on free of charge basis. Bandwidth available for your application is being allocated on residual approach. If dedicated channel is required, you may consider ordering our hosting service, pricing and conditions can be found here.

Videochat installation

Go to flashcoms/common/server/php/ folder and edit settings.php file

Now we have to set the correct values for FLASHCOMS_ROOT and FLASHCOMS_HTTP_ROOT variables.

FLASHCOMS_ROOT is a server path to the flashcoms folder. In our example it is E:/_http/testsite/flashcoms/

FLASHCOMS_HTTP_ROOT is http address of the flashcoms folder on your server. If you unpacked archive to flashcoms folder on your server and domain name is mywebsite.com you should set this value to http://www.yourdomain.com/flashcoms/ In this tutorial we use local server so we set httpRoot variable to http://localhost/testsite/flashcoms/

The Video Chat doesn't uses database itself, but if you want to make mp3 player work porperly you'd better to install sql dump file /flashcoms/_install/sql/mp3player.my.sql into your MySQL server. After installation of mysql dump file go to flashcoms/common/server/php/ folder and edit settings.php file

Find flashcoms.js file (common\js\flashcoms.js) and indicate "projectRoot" parameter in accordance to your configuration:

Now open test.php file in your browser. Click Community video chat in the menu on the left and then test in pop up mode

If everything has been done right you should see a video chat popup window

Congratulations! The video chat is installed. To learn more about chat settings and integration with your web site please follow integration manual which you can find in _docs folder.
