Not sure what's going on, but this chatbox keeps killing the apache server.. Happened twice within 10min. All happened once I used vB3 notification option for vB4.
Well notifications aren't supported on vB4.
What exactly happened ? The Apache server ran away ?

I know it happens sometimes, do you experience that all the time ?
I'm having trouble importing from cyb chatbox. We're in the process of upgrading from vB3.8 to 4, and on my vB4 test bed that still results in an empty chatbox.
I haven't installed valter's new vSA chatbox by the way, but could it be that cyb chatbox has changed some of its database fields since the last time the importer was updated?
*EDIT*
Never mind, it's either test database corruption acting up again or the importer only picking up my MGCchatbox test lines. Import in a fresh vB3 database works
He changed table names in Vsa chatbox ... So not yet compatible

I'm getting this error when I go to 'Edit Options':

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 100

I've make a Russian localization for MGCChatbox Evo 3.0.0 (UTF-8).
Hadn't a lot of time to test it perfectly. But the main features work well. Some features are added ? russian chat Help is advanced, for example.
The my first profession is russian linguistic, so the Russian language in this localization is literary. There is no slang and, I hope, there are no grammar mistakes and orthographic faults.
Damn... I have forget to attach the russian localisation file. It's here.
Follow the following install instructions:
Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.
Log into the admin control panel of your forum and import the product located in the Product folder.
Go in the Download/Upload item of the Language manager menu and then:
Select the English language file from the Lang folder.
Select the forum language to overwrite.
Set the Ignore language version option to YES.
Launch the upload.
Installation is finished, you just have to set the permissions of your usergroups so that they can see the chatbox, configure the chatbox settings, manage the available commands and if necessary add channels.
I changed the permissions of usergroups then configured the chatbox setting + display settings.
Here is the error firebug throws:
AJAX Error: Status = 0: communication failure /clientscript/vbulletin-core.js?v=403 (line 11)
Sometimes if I refresh the page a bunch of times it'll start working, sometimes not.
Bump. Sounds like a few other people are having this issue too, any insight into this error?

This was about a month ago and 20 pages back... I haven't been keeping up with the thread, too much chatter. Any solution/update to this common issue yet? Seems like both MGB and CYB (last I used it) chatboxes have this problem, and my members are starting to get angsty about it lol.
Seems to me this is a coding issue, since it loads perfectly every time if the /index.php is included in the url (aka if you click the banner or link back to home), but FREQUENTLY has this issue when you load to / (aka straight from your domain).
