Does anybody got experience with using the chat daemon on a virtual Server, prepared by a webprovider, like 1und1 ?

Do you need root access to start the daemon, or is it sufficent to got shell access via SSH?

Kind regards

Have you had any luck with getting the chat daemon working on a vserver?

I set up a vserver to be able to better test new versions of moodle and had to make apache2 ports file and the virtualhost block bind to the ipaddress:80 and make sshd listen on port 22 on the vserver's ip address...as per the instructions. I've had no luck getting the chat daemon to run, though...

When I start chatd.php I get:
--
moodle:/var/www/dreifnammultimedia/mod/chat# php chatd.php --start
Moodle chat daemon v1.0 on PHP 4.3.10-16 ($Id: chatd.php,v 1.29.2.1 2005/07/08 03:50:30 defacer Exp $)

moodle:/var/www/dreifnammultimedia/mod/chat#

I've tried setting the host name to localhost, the vserver's hostname and the actual "mother" server's hostname. I've also tried 127.0.0.1, the vservers IP and the "mother" ip. I've even tried copying the directory, setting config.php's dir-root to the directory as relative to the "mother" server (/var/lib/veservers/moodle/var/www/mysite2/mod/chat
The log file doesn't budge during all of this.

Anybody have any ideas?
