Description
Hi,
I installed the chatblock module and I entered the base URL which happens to be an alias, so it does end in a trailing /. I got an apache file not found error - it can't locate chatblock/views. I then searched my entire drupal install directory and folder views is no where to be found. Should there be a views folder??
If it was supposed to create a view folder and it puts it in the drupal root directory how would this module work with multi-sites?

What happens is the chatblock module attempts to find a file at http://www.yourbaseurl.com/chatblock/view and Drupal automatically redirects this file search to the appropriate function. You won't find that url anywhere in the module, it's what is called a 'callback' to a function (search for MENU_CALLBACK for more information).
If you have a trailing slash in your URL, then Drupal tries to find a file at http://www.yourbaseurl.com//chatblock/view, which doesn't exist. So you get a 404 error, file not found.
Part of the problem is that I had trouble coding for the base url of a page, and I needed to set up a base url that would work on all pages AND it's not required that you enter this url for Drupal to work properly. If I could solve that issue, then I could remove this setting entirely, but until I figure out how to do that, you'll have to make sure you enter a URL without a trailing slash or wait for this module to have all the kinks ironed out.

Thanks for the response.
I just tried this module on 2 different servers (windows apache 2.0 and bsd apache 2.2) with no luck. I went into your module and printed out the $url so I can see exactly what was happening.
My url that is printed seems correct with no trailing slashes. [http://www.myexample.com]
However I am still getting a file not found error in my chat block:
Not Found
The requested URL /chatblock/view was not found on this server
So it seems that your menu callback isn't working. "Drupal automatically redirects this file search to the appropriate function."
Any ideas??? I am hoping to get this resolved today...
thanks,

More information to help you debug.
In the .module file:
function chatblock_menu($may_cache) {
global $user;
$items = array();
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'chatblock/view',
'title' => t('chatblock'),
'callback' => 'chatblock_chat_callback',
'access' => user_access('access content'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
);
I printed out these values to the page:
Array ( [path] => chatblock/view [title] => chatblock [callback] => chatblock_chat_callback [access] => 1 [type] => 4 )
MENU_CALLBACK is returning an int. I'm not sure if that is correct, but we know that chatblock/view should call chatblock_chat_callback which isn't happening.

Are you using clean urls or not?
If you are using clean urls, then I'd need to have access to your website where you are testing this so I can see the page source etc... play around with different settings.
If you are not using clean urls, then you can try modifying the dir to something like http://www.example.com?q= and see if that works.

I fixed this problem by editing your module file and adding 'q=' before all the paths.
I do not have clean urls enabled.

This module should now work whether or not clean-urls are enabled.
