Topic: Connection Timeout Issue

[meownoi]

I would like to thanks to the author(s) of this great web IM.  It's all about what I need and I like it very much.

However, recently, I found that the connection timeout quite often and annoying the conversations.  The timeout occurred about every 5-10 minutes and need to refresh the whole page to reconnect (but sometimes I need to restart browser).

I've tried changing $connection_timeout from 30 secs to 18000 secs (5 hours), in chat.php:
// $connection_timeout = 30; // sec
$connection_timeout = 18000; // 18000 sec = 5 hours

But problem still exists 

Please suggest me any workaround for this issue.  Or you have any ideas for the root causes?

Thank you in advance

Mostly it depends on your hosting provider, which blocks you after some number of requests.

Try to change polling interval:

For chat, in /styles/.../templates/chat.tpl change frequency argument:
var threadParams = { ...... frequency:2,

For "Awaiting Visitors" page, add frequency argument (2 secs by default):
var updaterOptions = {
   .... noclients:"<?php echo getlocal("clients.no_clients") ?>", frequency: 7 };
