Super lost on Program-O and AIML
 
 

I have no idea where to begin with these or what they even do. Can you explain to me what these two are, what they’re used for, and how I can get started. I am currently just using chatscript. Thanks

Program O is a web-based chatbot engine, and as such, needs to be installed on a web server that also has the PHP scripting language installed, and also needs access to a MySQL database server. If you have these already installed locally, or have access to a remote web hosting service, I can help you to set everything up. If not, I can still help you, but it’s a far more complicated process. One of the main differences between Program O and ChatScript is that ChatScript can run as a stand-alone program, while Program O cannot.

So let’s start from scratch here. Can you tell me please what sort of computer/environment you want to use Program O with?

So, Storm, you’re compiling ChatScript in C++.  Which OS are you on?

I setup my Windows 7 64bit laptop to run PHP and MySQL ...
Microsoft’s Internet Information Services is included with Windows 7.
PHP on Windows: http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/phponwindows.aspx
MySQL on Windows: http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/windows/

It took time.  However, on my Linux laptop it was much faster, easier.
Installing a LAMP stack on Linux, may be just a one liner in the console.

LAMP stacks already setup on free webhosts are fun too, but it is good
to have your own localhost, rather than FTPing back and forth every change.
Especially free webhosts, which may slow down, with lots of users active.
