1.8.1. eXo Chat installation into eXo Platform server

Warning

You are looking at documentation for an older release. Not what you want? See the current release documentation.

  1. The Chat add-on uses MongoDB to store information and messages, so you need to download and install it. More details here.

  2. Install Chat add-on with the command: addon install exo-chat. The installation procedure is the same to that of other add-ons, as detailed in Installing/Uninstalling add-ons, Administrator Guide.

    Note

    By default, a chatPassPhrase property has been created. The eXo Chat server provides some operations via REST service so that anyone who knows the passphrase can do things, such as dropping, re-creating and indexing the database, so you need to change this property in the configuration file.

  3. Start eXo Platform server. When users sign in eXo Platform, the Chat icon () will be shown on the top navigation bar.
