Bug

I just installed PHPMyChat plus on a website, and I'm getting the
following errors:

Warning: fopen(./acount/pages/chat_index.txt) [function.fopen]: failed

How do I fix this?

This means that PHP does not have the appropriate permissions for this
file (I suppose it wants to write into the file). Open your favourite
FTP client and set these permissions:

....acount/pages/: rwxrwxrwx (777)
....acount/pages/chat_index.txt: rw-rw-rw (666)

I don't know the code there, but this is indicating you are trying to
open something but don't have sufficient permissions to do it. That
might be a file, a URL or whatever.

Why aren't you asking on the PhPMyChat Plus support boards? They know
the code, and what it is opening.

Eep! I hope not for long-term. There's very seldom a real need to make
permissions THAT open when the file can instead be assigned to a owner
or group that's appropriate for reaching the file.

As far as I know, not through FTP. And in a shared hosting, the "apache"
group and "others" are practically synonyms :)

I don't recall the OP mentioning shared hosting, only "a website".
