Platform: select PHP;

Media server: select one of the three options from the drop-down (FMS, Wowza or RED5);
RTMP address: this field will depend upon Media server option that you choose. RTMP address stands for IP or domain name of the server where FMS, Wowza or RED5 is installed.

Example:

Options for Media server:

You can either have a dedicated media server of your own, or you can use the FMS hosting service provided by FlashComs. Server details can thus be obtained from hosting provider or from FlashComs (http://www.flashcoms.com/services/hosting/).

This diagram shows the general overview of Flashcoms chat configuration:

Note: Flashcoms developers recommend installing the chat server where the media server is installed.

Note 2: Activation procedure is similar for both Community Chat and Site Messenger. Please note that they are two different products. You can order them here: http://www.flashcoms.com/products/community_video_chat/pricing/ and here: http://www.flashcoms.com/products/site_messenger/pricing/ .

After you have placed your order, member of FlashComs team will generate the package for you. In your personal cabinet Clients Area, in section ‘Downloads’ you will see the activation details, for example:

1. Download the archive
2. Unpack it
3. Find files ‘admintool’, ‘preloader’ in the archive

Upload the two files into your site folder /templates/admin/chat7:

Find folder /swf and upload the contents into /chat7/swf:

In file flashcoms.js edit var projectRootUrl:

var projectRootUrl = ‘http://yoursite.com/chat7/‘;

Your site setup

In administrator panel of your website go to Modules management and make sure the A/V Chatting module is activated:

Then go to Modules management > A/V chatting module > Settings > switch on the selected FlashComs module:

Save the changes.

In the tab Modules management > A/V chatting module > FlashComs http://demo.datingpro.com/dating/admin/admin_chat7.php you will be able to log in to chat or messenger as administrator:

No other settings are required here.

Please note: when you enter your chat or messenger admin panel, default administrator login/password are admin/admin. Make sure that you change the password once you entered admin console for the first time for better security.

Why pay extra for the setup?

Every chat generates a lot of traffic (audio/video stream). It needs to be hosted on a media server, either your own (you will likely need a dedicated server) or on the server provided by Flashcoms company (FMS hosting service). It is not possible to host a chat on a shared hosting account, because the load will be too high, and there is not enough bandwidth and other characteristics on a shared hosting account.

Please view http://www.flashcoms.com/products/community_video_chat/server_requirements/ and this information:

http://www.flashcoms.com/company/faq/general_questions/#q38

What’ is the advantage of being hosted with you?

Going hosted solution path all application files will still reside on your website but video / audio stream will go over our FMS without bringing any extra load on your side.
