I'm facing a constant problem. After cloning the git repo, compiling the JS, and adjusting the settings, cryptocat seems to work fine, but when you try to join a chat, it asks for a username, asks for the random keyboard banging, then keeps printing "Error: invalid message received." into the chat window. Messages aren't passed, neither are join nor quit messages. I've made sure the server data directory is writable, I've made sure I've got the configuration file properly written. I've ensured that this installation of PHP has shmop installed and enabled.

I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.10, PHP version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.6. Client browsers were Chrome and Firefox. Client OS was Windows.

Advice?
