To Install ZBit Chat please copy all the files from a zip package that you receive from us on purchase to a directory on your server. By default it is a "/chat/" directory off of you site’s root. Images for the chat are stored in "/images/chat/" directory from the root of the site. In the last directory that you need to put in the root of your site is "sound". The easiest thing to do is to just extract the entire content of the archive into the root directory of your site and everything will fall into correct places automatically.

You will find most of the settings in file called "settings.asp". Each constant has a comment to explain the details of how it works. Please Do take a look at this file and edit its content - you will get a lot of questions answered this way.

Previous requirements for modifying "global.asa" file are no longer applicable. You do NOT need to make any changes to "glabal.asa" anymore. However, if you would like to, you can still add the following code to your "global.asa" file and remove ghost check in "server.asp". That might slightly improve performance:

		<!--#include file=chat/chatapi.asp-->
		<script language=vbscript runat=server>
		Sub Session_OnEnd
			call LogOffUser(ChatSessionUidGet(),false)
		End Sub
		</script>
	  

In order to enable user authentication please set “USE_AUTHENTICATION” in settings.asp to 1. We provide you a sample database in the package. Please rewrite “UserAuthenticate” function to authenticate against your existing database if you have one.
