Trying to run socket server with chat

[Wayde]

Hey Guys,
how u all going?
Im running the lastest flashchat from tufat.com and tryin to run the socket server with it to reduce server load..
now.. my server has cpanel installed that handles everything im told.. eg. webserver, mysql, php and does updates on them as well..

I havnt been able to get the socket server started..
i had a programer look at it and he said there were no bugs in the scripts..
so im thinkin that sum thing needs to be installed on my server for it to work...im running centOS linux

do you think php-cli needs to be installed?
i have php sockets enable...
or do ya think i need more installed to get a php socket server running?

sorry kinda a newbie to php :)

Thanks heapgs :)

Take Care.

Servers and the like tend to run as daemon processes under linux ... how are have you installed the server and how are you trying to start it? Are there any daemon binaries associated with it?

To Be honest... i have no clue :(
Theres a cron script that needs to run every 5min that makes sure the socket server is still running..
and that calls the runServer.php file...
so for that to call it from "command line" wouldnt it? that would have to be php-cli right?
All the files in the socket-server dir. are php files if that helps.

Thanks heaps :)
