Tomcat6 (eXo bundle) & Tomcat7 (for chatServer) on the same machine (Windows Server 2008 R2) - chatServer unavailable about chat-application HOT 5 CLOSED

Have you changed the chat.properties files accordingly to your configuration?
It should be something like this for you :

chatServerUrl=http://malban:8080/chatServer
chatPortalPage=/portal/intranet/chat

you also need to create the chat page on eXo (/portal/intranet/chat) and put the Chat portlet in it.

Actually, it was caused by Windows Firewall rules.
Now, we need to manage CROS error :

I'll publish new notes if we solve it.

I can see your eXo instance using port 8080 and Chat server tomcat instance using 8280.
You're accessing using 8080, this is why you get into Access-Control-Allow-Origin problem because the port is not the same and it's not permitted for ajax calls (anti fishing security rules)

If you follow the installation notes, you will notice I declare a virtual host :
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName www.localhost.com

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all

ProxyPass /chatServer http://localhost:8280/chatServer
ProxyPassReverse /chatServer http://localhost:8280/chatServer
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

Then, you have to access eXo using http://malban:8888 (or port 80 if apache is set on port 80)

This will fix your problem.

Problem is fixed!

If you use a windows 2008 r2 server :
1.Deploy eXo bundle (tomcat 6, port 8080)
2.Deploy tomcat 7
3.Setup Apache (we choose 2.2 version - check required modules)
4.Follow the installation guide in the wiki (https://github.com/exo-addons/chat-application/wiki/Two-Servers-Mode)
(Step 5 concerns Apache and his httpd.conf file)
5.Add "Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://www.localhost.com"" in your httpd.conf file
6.Check your firewall rules (open 80 and 8280 port)

7.Start tomcat7 first, then eXo

Thank you Benjamin for your help.
Issue can be closed :)
