I need help

[inerg]

Ok I was able to compile the source code for the Imptalk server into a .deb file on Ubuntu Karmic but I'm not sure how to host the server or even get it running. Currently all that ive been able to figure out is it also gave me the client version of Imptalk. I would also like to state that from what I read about Imptalk I think ill love it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope people still browse this forum.

Hello inerg,

Thanks for trying out Imptalk. I still browse this forum at least once a day.

The .deb does not include the server anymore. There is a couple ways to use the sever but you have to run ./configure with --enable-daemon or else it will not have been compiled. The easiest way is to cd into the imptalkd/src directory and run ./imptalkd locally. The other method involves running "make install" as root.
In summary, open a terminal, change to the imptalk source directory and run one of the following sets of commands.

Option 1:
./configure --enable-daemon --enable-web --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
cd ./imptalkd/src
./imptalkd

Option 2:
./configure --enable-daemon --enable-web --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install
imptalkd

I intend to release a minor update soon. I'll try and find a pragmatic way to once again include the server with the .deb and .rpm packages.

Well its good to see that your still active in this and thankyou for posting. I did try option 2 because its similar to the readme but I didnt use these two options in the configure "--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc". So ill try and recompile it with those two options added to see if it fixes my issue.

Ok so I tried the new commands and it didnt work for both methods. I'm not really sure why this is but ill see about getting the logs.

Ok so heres the logs of the entire build. I also wanted to say that its nice that public server is open and I must say I really like what you can do with Imptalk it will be great when I can get a server up for my clan.

Looks like you are missing the boost development libraries. Install them with sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev and you should be good to go.

EDIT: Ignore the above, I was wrong. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 inside of a virtual machine to double check and I noticed the libboost_python libraries have a different naming convention than they did in 9.04. Here's a temporary work around:

1. Open find_libboost_python.py in the imptalkd/src directory with a text editor, like gedit.
2. Delete everything in the file.
3. Add the following text to the top of the file: print("boost_python")
4. Save.
5. Run 'make' like you did before.

Please let me know if you still are having problems after trying this.

Ok so I did the changes you said to make and it built perfectly as far as im concerned although now a new issue has arised. When I try and run it I get the normal stuff showing your settings but at the end it gets aborted due to this error. I'm assuming this is a similar problem to what I was having with the windows server version because when I tried it on two different computers one being windows XP and another being windows 7 with python installed it didnt work on either it just got aborted for unknown reasons.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
what(): /usr/share/imptalkd/scripts/run.py : no such file
Aborted

[James]

We'll get this working yet.

I don't want to speculate too much on why the Windows version isn't working but it might be because you installed Python2.6 or Python3.0 instead of Python2.5. See this thread.

You are almost there! Run sudo make install from the root directory of the source tree (where you ran ./configure). I made a mistake in recommending Option 1 at the top of the thread. Option 1 won't work with --enable-web. Option 2 will install the scripts that are missing into the proper path.

I committed a fix that will hopefully explain the problem a little better in future versions.

[inerg]

Awesome you fixed two problems in one. Now I just have to test it with someone outside my LAN network to be 100% sure it works. Also is there any way to add limits to what people can do who aren't in a specific list. Currently what I would like to do is have a couple of ranks I guess you could call it.

Edit:
Ok so Im figuring that I can do the ranks inside the database file although I cant seem to find and Im also unsure of how to make the Imptalk server accessible out side of my LAN network Im assuming I have to do something with my router although I am unsure of what to do.

[James]

I'm not sure what you mean by "database file" but the easiest way to manage users and groups of users is using the web interface. Start the server and go to 127.0.0.1:7251 (provided you didn't change the port) using your web browser to access the web interface.

Port forwarding is going to be required if you're behind a router. How to setup port forwarding can differ greatly depending on the type of router you are using. Usually you login to your router and configure it using your web browser. The exact address can differ from router to router. 192.168.1.1 is a common address for Linksys routers.

By default, the ports you want to forward are 7250 for TCP and UDP. To find the address you want to forward the ports to, run ifconfig from the command line and look for your current address. Usually it'll be labeled next to eth0 for a hard line connection.

I'm sorry my explanation is a little vague. If you need further help with port forwarding, please post your router's model number and I'll hunt down more specific details.

On a side note, I would like to add that even though Imptalk supports peer-to-peer communication, not all routers do. Clients who fail to establish a peer-to-peer connection will automatically fall back to a client-server connection.

[inerg]

Port forewarding isnt an issue for me I know how to do that. The issue was figuring out what Ip to give so that people could join. Now that I know what to do I should be able to set it up completely. If I run into issues or if it works Ill post here.
