IRC: Java Feature - Help Test it :)

[kirupa]

Hey everyone,
I have installed a java-based interface for the IRC server, and you can find it here: http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/chat/index.php The name you will have there is the same name you have on the forums.

I am just curious as to whether all of you are able to access this without any major problems?

Thanks!
Kirupa :cap:

[kirupa]

hmm - what browser are you using? Mozilla or Firebird?

[Yeldarb]

works fine for me :)

[kirupa]

I am not sure if this may be the cause, but you will get a small dialog box asking you if you want to give some java applet permission to install. It's the chat applet, and it's safe....because it wasn't written by me :) It's a open source pjirc applet.

Cheers!
Kirupa :D

[reverendflash]

mozilla...

I'll try with IE

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[reverendflash]

nope, same thing

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[Polling]

working :thumb:

[kirupa]

Rev, are you getting the same message from the forums here: http://www.vbulletin.nl/community/chat/index.php ? I just need to know if this is an issue that occurs only on these forums.

[reverendflash]

nope, that one works...

let me try the one here again...

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[reverendflash]

nope, still :

*** Failed to launch Ident server : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission localhost:113 listen,resolve)

Unable to connect : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission jade.va.us.dal.net resolve)

[thoriphes]

you know, rev, you could always use regular ol' mIRC; that seemed to work for you in the past.

[reverendflash]

I'm really not interested in the IRC channel, but I was checking it out for Kirupa.

I am still not fond of IM's... I just don't like the way things end up there. This place is enough of conversation for me. If I desire to speak to someone, I generally give them a call on the telephone.

but yes, you are correct, I could install mIRC on this machine.

[Digigamer]

I got the same message Rev is getting. I am using IE6

[claudio]

Same here, im using IE6 and Firebird 0.6.1

[kirupa]

strange - it must need more tweaking then :P

[kirupa]

digi/claudio/rev - are you all by any chance running a firewall? Also, do you all get a Java pop-up asking you to accept the security of the java applet? Scouring through google, if any of you guys who are getting the error use zone alarm, you may need to disable cookie/adblocker.

It's no real biggie though :) I am just curious as to why these errors are occuring so I can document a solution on the site for others who are having similar issues.

[crewman747]

Hey guys i got it to work. Im running IE 6

[claudio]

No, im not using zonealarm and i do not get a Java popup.

[lostinbeta]

I get the same error, with and without my firewall up.

[Yeldarb]

from school, it says "Loading Java Applet Failed" and where the chat should be is just a gray box with an X

[eilsoe]

works for me :P

[c!rYx]

Great idea, but it doesn't work for me:

*** Ident server running on port 113
Connecting...
Unable to connect : jade.va.us.dal.net

Maybe that's because I'm behind a proxy, I'll check that later...

[Digigamer]

kirupa- I don't think its because of the firewall. I am able to view other java applets, and I don't get the pop up window because I already have the java plug in installed. Also I am able to view other java IRC chats with no problem.

my school does that too. They have the viewing of java applets disabled.

[Johnny64]

Well it i get the same as Rev

I have see other chats like this and they did work.

And I have a router

:)

[kirupa]

It must be something on the forum's end of the connection then. I'll try to see what may be up!

[norie]

start hides connect/disconnect end hides connect/disconnect -->

Same for me, IE 6.0

[eilsoe]

am I the only one this works for? :)

[eyezberg]

works fine, but would be nicer in a pop-up all by itself to save screen space (xp home, ie6 sp1)

[kirupa]

eyez - that's what I am planning on eventually doing once the initial problems are fixed. There really is no point in taking up the whole screen for just the tiny chat window :}

[eyezberg]

you mean half of one of the screens..lol

[kirupa]

;P

Disconnected from jade.va.us.dal.net

i think its cause i am on cox...

[norie]

dalnet doesn't like cox. i had problems using mIRC when i had cox, ..... a java based client probably will have the same problems.

[mdipi]

anyway to get around it?

[norie]

in mirc, yea. web based, i dunno. you need mirc help?

[kirupa]

Ok - I revised the code with some help from the creator of the chat feature. Hopefully it works now....

[reverendflash]

same thing. same mssg.

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[kirupa]

Sigh - thanks! Oh well - I may try more drastic measures :ro:

[reverendflash]

np...

let me know when you want me to test it again...

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[dropkick]

no trabaja

[Phat7]

soooorrrry... :sigh:

[kirupa]

Ok, after the servers have been switched, let's try this again. Does the Java applet version work now? You can test it out by visiting the following link: http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/chat/index.php

I think almost everybody is able to connect using mIRC to the new EFNet server.

Thanks!
Kirupa :beam:

[reverendflash]

nope...

still no work.

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif
