Install instructions says to remove old chatbox and you haven't done it correctly as there are files remaining from the older version (as per regard of the error) !

Please follow instructions correctly again

[mark737]

after installing I don't see anything, and installation instructions can be more detailed.. come on frenchie :P

[VBDev]

I think they are well detailled, what should I add more ?

Have you at least followed the last instructions which is : set the usergroup permissions ?

[lucky51]
