Installing AirChat

Prerequisites

• Apache2 (Debian) or IIS7+ with IIS_PHP extensions installed (Windows)
• PHP5+ with mcrypt, and curl extensions/modules installed
• An XMPP Server, ejabberd/ejabberd2 preferred. TurnKeyLinux has a great appliance that comes configured for BOSH out of the box.
• An SSL Certificate (Optional, but still worth looking into.)

Installing an XMPP server

Installing an XMPP server can be simple if you are familiar with Linux configuration files.

I recommend using TurnKey Linux's ejabberd.

Any XMPP server that supports registration and BOSH (http-bind or https-bind) works fine. There are a lot of tutorials for installing and using XMPP servers on Linux, so I recommend google.

Installing AirChat

AirChat is simple, just download the master.zip file from GitHub, or git clone this repository. After downloading, unzip or move the files into /var/www or the root of your web server. Then modify config.php to match your current XMPP server configuration.

That's it! You are done! Enjoy!
