Download, unzip and just copy the content of the sources folder to any folder of your web site.

Setup

On the application folder of your site, edit the file conf/setup.ini. The interesting parameter is auth that indicates which user is authorized to which room.

In this example auth = John:Game,Mary:Game,John:Family,Tim:Family,admin:,:Public,

• John can access the Game room, the Family room and the Public room
• Mary can access the Game room and the Public room
• Tim can access the Family room and the Public room
• admin can access all rooms
• other users can only acccess the Public room

If auth is not set (default), there is a single unnamed room, opened to all users.
