Two of us in our group have tried the HamChat install on two separate v1.0.0 nodes following the detailed install instructions with poor results. All users see the HamChat page requesting the login; but after logging in, anything typed in the text entry box is lost on pressing SEND and does not appear in the chat portion of the screen. During the install I did yesterday, I made sure I created the folders and used the chmod command exactly as in the instructions (using PuTTY). I did use WinSCP to transfer the two files and to verify the permissions on the files and folders after the install. After attempting to send several lines of text, I checked the DATA folder with WinSCP and found it empty. Any suggestions? 73

Same issue, the lock file is un-touched also.. All permissions set, reset, and double checked. Just a blank iframe.

I take it that the Broadband-Hamnet v1 OS will execute a Perl script and that there are no missing dependencies. I can't find any entries for Perl in the packages list (on the administration page). I don't understand why many are getting this to install and run with no problems, while those who have tried here end up with the identical problem. 73

Solution found: Read the post by VE3RTJ under "HamChat Server" in the Applications section. As he says, the LOCK file must be in the DATA directory (I had created it in the hamchat directory). Once I used WinSCP to drag and drop it into the DATA directory, everything worked as it should. 73
