x7 chat issue

First, if I am posting in the wrong place, then I apologize and Mod/ admin please move it to the right place.

I downloaded and installed the x7chat, too. I am getting a similar error message:

Quote:

Unable to locate the RavenNuke(tm) configuration file - rnconfig.php

It could be missing or not readable. Please verify that the file exists and is readable in the root folder.

This may also be caused by a third party module/script which attempts to include config.php directly rather than including mainfile.php and letting it load config.php, or otherwise does not follow RavenNuke(tm) standards on how the constant INCLUDE_PATH is defined (this is done in mainfile.php, and is dependent upon other constants).

I have my rnconfig set to 777 but it still doesn't see it. Plus my background is white with a blue box in the center. Is that how it is supposed to be? I am running ravenuke 2.40.01 if that helps. I know you can change the background theme, but they won't let you put in your website background. Is there a way to integrate it to where it is a part of the website like the forum is and having the same background?
I also got this error message when I logged out of the chat:

In your RavenNuke config.php file around line 80, find the following code:

Code:

 


if (defined('INCLUDE_PATH') && file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH . 'rnconfig.php')) {


   require_once INCLUDE_PATH . 'rnconfig.php';

above that, add this:

Code:




!defined('INCLUDE_PATH') ? define('INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/') : '';

Thank you so much, that fixed it. I do have a question though (from a noob) why didn't you use "if (defined" instead of just "!defined("?
Again thank you so much for getting back to me.

Because the !defined means if it is not defined where as if (defined means if it is defined. INCLUDE_PATH is defined in mainfile.php which is the preferred way to access the database connection information. Some older mods go through config.php to get the database information like the x7 chat does. Either way will work, but including mainfile.php also includes many functions as well as config.php.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.

I have one more question concerning the x7chat. How do I get it to open up in another window?
