You can check that using this command line: iptables -V Second, you have to create 2 shell script files in /etc/init.d folder.

Hey everybody, We got several requests these days regarding the messages that are automatically displayed in the chat. Some of you probably already know how to edit or disable the messages but we thought we should write a more comprehensive article about it. This feature was added in Build 1505 of AVChat 3 to give the website owner the ability to add info messages, text ads with links or any other announcements in the text chat. In detail The file which stores the messages is rotate_messages.php located in the AVChat 3 installation folder. It is called by AVChat 3 every rotatingMessageTime seconds (option in avc_settings.xml) and it sends to it a GET variable named count which stores the number of times it[…]
These days we faced some annoying spam attacks on our forum and had to take some security measures that will share with everybody here. As first quick measures: 1) You have to ensure that the registration page contains at least a “Questions and answers challenge” and a CAPTCHA code. For those who don’t know, this area can be found in the AdminCP under the menu System->System Settings->Security and Privacy. We used to have re-captcha from Google before, but the bots were still getting in, so we switched to “Are you human PlayThru” to see if something changes. Here’s a graphic of user registrations due the past months where we can notice abuse of users registered: 2)[…]

“I’d like to know if I can run other Red5 instances on my server, besides the one that AVChat requires.” This is an issue that came recently for some of our existing customers and I thought that we can share this info to everybody. It happens that you have been using a software that requires Red5 to transmit data and you have installed, for example, Red5 0.9. Good.. Now, after you got an AVChat license, you heard that the only compatible versions of Red5 with the chat software are 0.8 and 1.0 RC1. This made you wonder if you can still use your previous software running on the same Red5 0.9 as before and make a different installation of[…]
