Ohhhkay, I've been seeing some weird things in my paintchat room. Plus I haven't seen any big tutorials how to set up paintchat on the web...IN ENGLISH! (I've seen an Austrian one...somewhere). So I decided to do this tutorial.

A few notes:

- Please note that if you have trouble installing paintchat, PLEASE ASK YOUR WEBHOST and show them this tutorial. This tutorial is coming off from the notes I got from my server and I'm not pro enough to figure how to configure paint chat to a different webhost.

- You can also download the files by clicking 'download' at the side.

- If you know linux or unix, you pretty much have an advantage in using Putty.

- There's also a different way to load paintchat without a webhost by following the instructions from this link (Make sure you download paintchat from that link. They're different than the files I've provided) [link]

- Jtablet link: [link]

- Special thanks to Xepher.

- Paintchat is created by Shi-Chan.

well, I have nothing to try it on. ^^;

I only use PuTTY or XWin for accessing the university servers for my engineering classes.

Maybe the engineer people could use a doodle room? X3

It pretty much is everything in a "nut shell" on setting up paintchat on a webhost.

It can be hard and frustrating if you don't know what you're doing. There hasn't been any really clear english instructions on how to setup paintchat. I even think I used the same Austrian site you said as a reference for mine.

Anyways, good job on your tutorial!

I'm really surprised there hasn't been much english-speaking interest in paintchat... Thank you so much for this amazing guide!

Although I'm having some troubles. On step 6, I get the error "cannot exec 'java': no such file or directory" Does this mean my server does not have java installed? If so, do you know how I can get it? XD;

hmmm, I haven't run into that command before. My guess is either:

1. the PaintChat.jar file didn't upload to the right place
2. You're typing the command from the wrong location (you need to be inside the paintchat root folder)
3. Check your "file_config" location in the nano editor in step 5.
4. Your server restricts you from running java applets. I don't think servers need to install Java and you can definitely download one to your computer. But its a matter of if your server or your account is capable of running it.

I did some more research and found that java does in fact need to be installed on the webserver since it uses the file "java" to run PaintChat.jar. So I installed a java runtime environment from here:[link] (I'm not sure if that was the right one or not...) and found the path to "java" to use in the run command. (So my command was something like "screen ../j2re1.4.2_18/lib/java -cp PaintChat.jar etc.")

And it worked!

Or so I thought. I got to the right screen in step 6 but for some reason I got a connection error when I tried to go into the paintchat and when I went back into putty, it had automatically exited out of the process. I'm pretty sure my config is set up right so my web host probably just doesn't let me run java applets... Oh well. D;
