Hi Ivan,

I think I did but I will try again.

Hi all,

Have tryed Ivans sujestion and unfortuanatly it does not work.

Just a quick update. I have installed Tomcat on the same server and after having configured it I have uploaded the webchat.war file and it works.http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/plugins/webchat.war

How did you get it to work with Tomcat. I installed, configured,and started Tomcat. I put the webchat folder under the webapps folder in Openfire 3.9.1. Openfire is configured to use port 7070. When I go to the URL http://myserver.com:7070/webchat/, it says it is not found. Do I use a different path?

bricoleur have you installed Tomcat as a seperate install? if so you need to access the tomcat admin panel and installed it through there.

I would have thought this issue was resolved in 3.9.1 but from what you have found it must not be so.

PS I will update this with more info in the next few hours.

tomcat defaults to port 8080

Yes, I did install Tomcat as a separate install. I didn’t use the tomcat admin panel and it installed fine after som configuration.

So, I got it working. Thanks to Jason, I switched ports to 8080 and now have it working. Thanks!

One question, what if I was to install Tomcat on a separate server from Openfire. How would they know about each other?

Jason,

Thanks. That got me on track!

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Connectors#Q3 might be worth reading. It discusses integration of Tomcat and Apache. http://sanketdangi.com/post/43734145363/secure-tomcat-through-apache-using-ajp talks about using AJP with Tomcat and Apache.

when you first configure the Webchat on your tomcat server (by browsering to yourserver.com:8080/webchat… it should ask you for the server details and other setup information. After that, you should be on track
