Installation

Database Installation

Create a new MySQL database. Call it msn.

Import msn.sql found in the Database folder.

Server Installation

The server consists of the following files:

• WLMServer.exe
• WLMServer.exe.config
• Messenger.config
• WLMData.dll
• MySql.Data.dll
• NetworkCommsDotNetComplete.dll

After compiling open Messenger.config and insert the database information.

<appSettings>
  <add key="server_port" value="1323" />
  <add key="server_encryption_key" value="CHANGEME" />
  <add key="database_host" value="localhost" />
  <add key="database_id" value="root" />
  <add key="database_password" value="" />
  <add key="database_password_encryption_key" value="CHANGE_ME_123456_123456_" />
  <add key="database_password_encryption_iv" value="CHANGE_ME_123456" />
  <add key="avatars_enabled" value="false" />
  <add key="avatars_address" value="" />
  <add key="avatars_address_upload" value="" />
  <add key="broadcast_interval" value="30" />
</appSettings>

Registration Page Installation

Make sure /uploads has write permission (if you attend to use avatars).

Open config.php and insert the database information.

<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '';
$dbname = 'msn';
$encryption_key = 'CHANGE_ME_123456_123456_';
$encryption_iv = 'CHANGE_ME_123456';
?>

Client Installation

The client consists of the following files:

• WLMClient.exe

• Messenger.config
• WLMData.dll
• NetworkCommsDotNetComplete.dll

Change the encryption key in the WLMClient\Config\Properties.cs file: public static string SERVER_ENCRYPTION_KEY = "CHANGEME";
