I have some problems getting the daemon to run on my server (a trustix 2.2 system). The errors i get are:
root@hyper1 /home/www/moodle/mod/chat# PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name]().

Error: Function socket_setopt() does not exist.
Possibly PHP has not been compiled with --enable-sockets.
I have recompiled PHP to enable sockets but still get the same error. Is there a way to test if the compiling did work? And is there a recommended version of PHP to use?
Hi!
First of all, I just made some improvements to chatd which should eliminate all those irrelevant warnings you get in the beginning, as they are either harmless or cannot be avoided.
As for testing for sockets, the check done by chatd should be regarded as definite. You can try doing phpinfo(); and looking at the compilation options (should be mentioned near the top) for "--enable-sockets" or further down for a "sockets" header (in the alphabetical list of extensions).

Thanks for your answer, I got the Daemon to run now 
Problem was that I forgot to install the newly compiled package (I thought it would do that itself). It runs now, but I still get one Error (I guess this is the one you said was removed):

That one aside, all seems to run fine now (now forward to the real tests with real users

You didn't allow enough time for the very latest version to reach the public repository. "v 1.29 2005/04/01" obviously doesn't inlcude yesterday's changes. 
Jon, I just started chatd for my moodle site, and I get similar complaints with the
