Well, maybe this does work with dreamhost, as I got the jwchat.org demo to connect fine with a dreamhost-hosted jabber conference room. I thought the problem was that jwchat required php to be able to somehow ping the jabber server in the background.Lunkhead wrote:JWChat only communicates using HTTP, while Jabber servers natively use XMPP, so you need something acting as a gateway, translating between those two protocols. You either need to have the gateway/translation functionality built in to your Jabber server (as in Jive OpenFire or ejabberd), or you need to run some process like a cgi or a Java servlet (as in JabberHTTPBind) to add the functionality to your Web/application server.
