a readme.txt file is present in the Freichat directory.
download the latest freichatx.v.4.6.3 and point your browser to http://~/freichat/index.php

if you are still unable to install, tell me the exact point where you are stuck! (This may even help us to improve our documentation)

All the installation instructions are given in the readme file within the zip archive

And what do you mean by ins.video doesnt work ,
Do you mean that the video is not playing or do you mean that
you were unsuccesfull in installing with the steps described in the video

I just downloaded the latest version of the script, and read the readme document. Perhaps it's me and I just am too old to read text so tightly packed, or maybe I missed it.

But, my question is...can I just over write my current installation and have all the same functionality? Will I lose any of the set parameters?

I also have a challenge. For some reason the script only works on one of my templates. If I change the template default, the whole FriechatX ceases working.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

@hsntgm your FTP client is the culprit.
upload the whole zip archive to the server, and unzip it there itself.

@martin_scott the readme file should be read with a good code editor(try downloading NotePad++)
or simply open it with wordPad (I guess you are using Windows O.S)

Don't upgrade, The new version is just a patch for those people where installation was not working.

A new version will always overwrite the parameter set. (But there are only a few parameters i guess)

the chat code is patched on to the template, so if you change the template, it will not work.
you will have to copy paste the FreiChatx code from the previous template.

Just wait for v.5.0, it has added features and the integration will done from a joomla module(Just to make life simpler)

Thanks for the response. I will wait for the version you recommend. Yes, I need life to be simple since my site is really just a hobby.

But, I have to say FreiChatX ROCKS!

download the latest version (currently 5.2) and at the end of the installation, you will have an option to download a module,

if you install this module, then there is no need to copy paste the code.

probably the uploaded files have been corrupted(Its the FTP clients problem)
to solve this,
upload the zip file and uncompress it in the server itself. then install it.
