Pidgin: Can't send messages using MSN http method

Submitted by DaveyNL on August 27, 2007 - 7:13am

Is anybody having problems sending messages using MSN http method or standard?

I always get:
"Message could not be sent because a connection error occurred:"

At home with AdiumX it works, just not with Pidgin. Yahoo and other protocols work fine.

I did a clean-install just to see if that made any difference but no luck.

Any ideas?

Regards,

David

Can't start Pidgin - probably machine specific

Submitted by jroope on August 24, 2007 - 12:58am

If anyone can offer a suggestion I would appreciate it. Every time I try to start PidginPortable I get a Visual C++ runtime error indicating "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way"

If I try to start pidgin.exe from the \App\pidgin directory it fusses about not finding intl.dll and then Pidgin.dll

Any ideas? I will be most appreciative.

Pidgin: Windows Socket error #10061

I am guessing I get this error due to being behind a firewall at my work. Well you can solve this IF the following conditions apply (the way I do it)
1. you have an ssh server running at home
2. have a port at home that is open for outgoing traffic (i think, I am sorry but I don't totally understand how tunneling with putty works. All I know is that the only port open for incoming traffic at my house is for ssh)

This is what you do.

Using *original* GAIM smileys in Pidgin

Upon PidginPortable install, it seemed to have automatically migrated my previous GAIMPortable profile settings over just fine. But, I typically use the Yahoo protocol the majority of the time, and I was very disappointed in the default Pidgin smiley/emote theme. And I'd become quite accustomed to the original default smileys/emotes from GAIM, which were a copy of the same default sets from the individual branded messenger programs.

On my USB flash drive, I have the directory structure set like so:

/
    - PortableApps/
        - FirefoxPortable/
        - PidginPortable/
        - FirefoxPortable.exe (not a shortcut)
        - PidginPortable.exe (also not a shortcut)

In the above sample, I can double-click on FirefoxPortable.exe (outside of the Firefox Portable directory) and it will run.
