Chat server


 

Hi everyone
?
i have linbpq up and running ok, but i am wondering if the chat server is native in the linbpq code or is there another piece of code that needs to be installed and linked to linbpd?

thanks again

It is native but you have to at least place LINCHAT in the config somewhere.

Then you should be able to configure it.

You might find this helpful for the other parts: /g/bpq32/topic/configuring_the_g8bpq_chat/90996140

Bob,
?
As previously stated, it is native and you need LINCHAT in the config in addition to an application line. The following is the tail-end of my bpq32.cnf file that I run on a Pi 4
?
;----- Applications -----
APPLICATION 1,BBS,,K9TSM-2,,0
APPLICATION 2,CHAT,,K9TSM-4,,0
APPLICATION 3,RMS,C 1 CMS,K9TSM-10,,0
?
LINMAIL
LINCHAT
?
?
Also, in the chatconfig.cfg file, the application number (ApplNum) must match the number in bpq32.conf. The chat config file is automatically generated so that shouldn't be a problem. But, if you start messing around with application numbers, it will mess you up.
?
Chat :?
{
? ApplNum = 2;
? MaxStreams = 10;
?
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the snippets of the config files, can i assume that once ?the linchat parameter is in the bpq32.cfg file the chatconfig.cfg file will be created or is there a document that defines the syntax?

That was easy ..... answered my own question .... the chatconfig.cfg is automatically created when the server executes for the first time ...... very nice.

SO far I have to say this linbpq is a pretty tight piece of code (application), I am accustomed to compiling and configuing all the AX25 apps and tools individually and dealing with the multitude of config files..... nice job!

It will be created and shouldn't be edited manually. Use the Chat Config pages in the Web management (which will appear when you enable Chat).
