After searching through these forums I have not yet found a workable solution to my problem. I can not seem to get the chat daemon to run properly. That is, I think that the daemon itself is running (I loaded it with ampersand from shell with no errors) but when I enter one of my chat rooms I receive a DNS error in both frames. An issue that may make my case unique is the fact that I am running three moodles on one server each with a separate installation above the public_html folder. In addition, I have two courses with groups (two each). I am pretty sure that the problem is in my chat settings (ie. chat_serverhost: setting). Any and all help would be much appreciated as the normal chat mode is putting a lot of pressure on my Bluehost server.
Are all the daemons using different ports?
To the best of my knowledge, I only have two daemons running: the chat and the mail. Is there a shell command that will tell me which daemons are running and on which ports?
Yes, there is.
netstat -tap
this will list all the running programs listening for tcp traffic and on what ports.
