I’m having some trouble with the chatbox module.
I'm new to drupal (about a week old) and having a blast.
I am working on a drupal site for my artist live / work collective.
It’s obviously my ignorance that’s the real trouble but if you have a minute, I’d love some guidance.
Here's the scenario:
I am using drupal 4.6.5
I downloaded an unzipped the chatbox.tar.gz file and uploaded chatbox.module to the modules folder within my drupal folder
In drupal I enabled chatbox in the modules, blocks and access areas.
I can see the chatbox on the front page of my site (http://www.millionfishes.com/drupal).
Based on the chatbox documentation and also “Installing New Modules” http://drupal.org/node/17473 I went to my web host control panel and into the “MySQL Databases” maintenance area.
The first time I tried to install chatbox, I saw chatbox listed as one of the databases on my server right away.
Then I tried using MyPHPAdmin to get in to the database and upload the chatbox.mysql file
Even though I got error messages when I returned to drupal and tried to go in to the chatroom, I was initially able to see the chatbox as a database on my server.
Now I can’t even see it.
The first time I uploaded the chatbox and went through all of the steps, I saw it listed as a database on my server. Since then I have deleted and re-uploaded the chatbox module probably 5 times . . .
