I am running 1.4.5 on Fedora core.
I have the chat daemon running, but am confused with configuring the chat module on moodle. The first time I tried I only changed it from normal to chat daemon. On the server machine I could log into the chat and see myself and chat, but from any other machine when I try to log into it I just see white space, no users, and no chat going on.
chat_serverhost: localhost
chat_serverip: 127.0.0.1
Should I change these values? I tried to change the ip to the machines local IP, but I dont know what would go in the serverhost name? Should I leave these alone completely?
"localhost" is a special name that always means the machine you are currently using. 127.0.0.1 means the same thing.
Your server needs to have a proper IP and name (eg moodle.org) ... otherwise how can other people access your site?
If you don't have a hostname for that server, you can just use the IP in both fields.
