Getting Webchat working on Windows

[Levi_Lohrman]

I am trying to get Webchat working on my install, but so far, I cant get it to work.

I have Openfire installed on a Windows XP (32bit) machine.

I have tried using the webchat plugin from the following threads, but none of them work:

Updated sources for webchat - works with 3.7.0

Fastpath Webchat fails to install

Webchat + Fastpath + Openfire 3.7.1 Finally working

Everything I try gives me the same result.

I go to “http://localhost:9090/webchat” and I get the following message:

HTTP ERROR: 503

Problem accessing /webchat. Reason:

Service Unavailable

Powered by Jetty://

If I go to “http://localhost:7070/webchat” I get the following:

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /webchat. Reason:

Not Found

Powered by Jetty://

This is what I see in the Openfire warn log:

I have JRE 6U38 and JDK 6U38 installed on the machine.

Any ideas as what I need to do to get it working?

Thanks for any help you can provide, and Happy Holidays!

I have got the same problem, but it works!

Sometime ago i have done an workarround to common openfire + webchat instalation

I had used tomcat web server to tun webchat and it works, if you look on my previous posts you will get how i get this to work

cheers

Yeah, but you dont explain how to get it working. I understand that you used MySQL and Tomcat, but I dont understand how to get it working.

So,

After playing with this for a while now, I think I finally got it figure out!

Here is what I did:

• First, download MySQL (I used this: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/installer/)
  • install it (you’ll need .Net 4.0 Framework)
• I then used HeidiSQL to give me a GUI (http://www.heidisql.com/download.php), as I’m not a huge fan of CLI.
  • Setup the MySQL Profile, using the default root password you entered when you setup MySQL
  • Log into MySQL
  • Create a new database, called openfire
• Download and install Apache Tomcat (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi)
  • I used the “Windows service installer” version, as it is an exe and give me a nice UI
    • it will default to using port 8080
  • Once installed, you should be able to go to http://localhost:8080
    • you should get the succesful install page
  • To manage Tomcat, go to http://localhost:8080/manager/html
    • it’s gonna ask you for a username and password
  • Then, near the middle (goldish colored stuff) there is a “WAR file to deploy” section. Choose the WAR file and deploy it
    • I used the file given here (http://community.igniterealtime.org/thread/44193)
• Download and install openfire
  • Select the option to use an external database
  • install fastpath
  • setup your workgroup
• Now, go to http://localhost:8080/webchat/
  • You should see the page and it should show you the workgroup you just created.

Hopefully this helps other people trying to get this setup. I am a noob and not having it spelled out for me was a really pain in the butt.

Cheers,

Levi

When installing on Windows, was getting the same 503 Service Unavailable error when attempting to connect to Webchat Tools. The logged error was:

2013.01.17 10:50:04 org.jivesoftware.util.log.util.JettyLog - Failed startup of context WebAppContext@433545@433545/webchat,file:/C:/Program%20Files/Openfire/plugins/w ebchat/,C:\Program Files\Openfire\plugins\webchat

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 16: file:/C:/Program Files/Openfire/plugins/webchat/lib/plugin-webclient.jar

To fix, when installing on Windows, don’t let it install to the default C:\Program Files\Openfire directory. The space in the path breaks it. Install to something like C:\Openfire instead.
