THE PUBLIC HOUSE

is an event-driven UTF-8 WebSocket chat server for the Prospero Web Server.

To install and configure:

0. Edit Makefile.  Instructions are at the top of the file.

1. make install

2. /etc/rc.conf:

   house_enable="YES"
   house_flags="<from those that follow.  Leave empty to use defaults.>"

   -m <max connections>               (default 4096)
   -l <UNIX socket>                   (default /var/run/house.socket)
   -h <hostname>                      (default host's actual name)
   -u <Value of USER in Makefile>     (default www)
   -g <value of GROUP in Makefile>    (default www)
   -o <max occupants per room>        (default 32)
   -t <inactivity timeout in minutes> (default 10)

4. Make the path to the socket defined by the -l option the 5th, 7th, or 9th
   line of prospero's configuration file.  What line is determined by what
   value you choose for the Makefile's WEBSOCKET variable.  See the prospero
   manual for details.

5. service house start
   service prospero restart

6. With a web browser, access /house/.
