I am now trying to get MeshChat to work on a newly install Pi with all the updates. V1.02 works now for all of us following some of us clearing our browser cache
Pi 3B attached to the node.
Have meshchat-api 1.02 running on the node: Nano M2
Installed Apache2
Downloaded and installed mesh chat
Reserved the DHCP address and set up an advertised service with the Name = the zone I want to be in and port: 8080
MeshChat-SRQ HTTP://MeshChatPi:8080/meshchat
Saved configuration
in meshchatconfig.pm edited
our $pi_zone = 'MeshChat-SRQ';
our $local_meshchat_node = 'W2DEN-Nokomis-M2-N';
Not sure what to type in the browser url. Instructions say http://<pi ip>/meshchat
<pi ip> doesn't work.... tried all kinds of variants with no luck
Any help will be appreciated.

The issue may be that there are OTHER hostnames on the mesh with that same name. You should ALWAYS prefix your hostnames with your callsign to try to make them unique. ie. W2DEN-MeshChatPi or W2DEN-MeshChatPi-1
I followed both suggestions:
DHCP Reservation Name: W2DEN-MeshChatPi
Advertised Services: MeshChat-SRQ http:// W2DEN-MeshChatPi:80/meshchat
meshchatconfig.pm
our $pi_zone = 'MeshChat-SRQ';
our $local_meshchat_node = ' W2DEN-Nokomis-M2-N.local.mesh';
URL: http://w2den-meshchatpi.local.mesh/meshchat/
I uninstalled the API and reinstalled it and rebooted the node.
Now Mesh Chat v1.02 opens. I can log in and see the CHAT page but it does not link. The Updated: counter just keeps going up. My call does not appear on any other sites. ZONE: MeshChat-SRQ and NODE: raspberrypi
When I try to Send a message: Error sending message: Could not get lock
I have tried several times to setup MeshChat on a Pi and each time I have gotten to the same spot. On the Pi meshchat does not see the other nodes and if I try to send a message I get the "Error sending message" as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
