JAdmin! is a high performance Joomla! website administration software. It has a very light footprint on memory and hardware usage. The entire software suite consists of a Joomla! component, plugin and desktop application. This feature filled software suite allows you to be able to manage and monitor your website directly from your desktop. There are many powerful features that JAdmin! offers which include but are not limited to: Real-time Website Activity Monitoring (with visitor geo-location), IP Blocker (to block IP Addresses), Login as user (Login as any registered user to the frontend of your website), and more... With JAdmin!, you can conveniently manage and monitor all your Joomla! websites using one desktop application.

JAdmin! works on all operating systems and platforms including but not limited to Windows, Mac, and Linux. The JAdmin! Joomla! component, and plugin are all open-source and fully customizable using PHP, CSS, and/or HTML.

Webserver System Requirements

  • Joomla! 1.5.x or greater
  • PHP 4 or greater with cURL support enabled

Operator Workstation System Requirements

  • Compatible with: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.4+ (Intel or PowerPC), Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Linux
  • At least 100MB of free space on hard disk
  • An Internet Connection (High speed preferably)

Installing JAdmin! on Joomla!

  • First download the JAdmin! Joomla! component, plugin and module from our download section.
  • Then install the JAdmin! component (com_jadmin), and plugin (plugin_jadmin) by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla! administrator.
  • Once you have successfully installed the component, plugin, and module, then you should install the JAdmin! desktop application.
  • Then proceed to create a JAdmin! user by going to Components -> JAdmin! -> Users from within your Joomla administrator and then download your user access key file and add it to the JAdmin! desktop application by going to File -> My Websites from within the JAdmin! desktop application.

Installing JAdmin! on Windows

  • Download and install the JAdmin! desktop application from our download section. In particular you should download JAdmin_Setup.exe.
  • After installing the JAdmin! desktop application successfully, launch the program, and proceed to add your user access key file to the desktop application by going to File -> My Websites from within the JAdmin! desktop application. You can download your user access key file by going to Components -> JAdmin! -> Users from within your Joomla! administrator.
  • After successfully adding your user access key file to the JAdmin! desktop application, you should be all set!

Next you should either setup JAdmin! in data syncer push mode or exclude JAdmin! requests from your web log.

Installing JAdmin! on Mac OS X

  • Download and install the JAdmin! desktop application (for Mac OS X) from our download section.
  • After installing the JAdmin! desktop application successfully, launch the program, and proceed to add your user access key file to the desktop application by going to File -> My Websites from within the JAdmin! desktop application. You can download your user access key file by going to Components -> JAdmin! -> Users from within your Joomla! administrator.
  • After successfully adding your user access key file to the JAdmin! desktop application, you should be all set!

Next you should either setup JAdmin! in data syncer push mode or exclude JAdmin! requests from your web log.

Installing JAdmin! on Linux

You can install the JLive! Chat desktop application on linux by following these steps:

  1. Download the jadmin_linux_installer.sh linux desktop application installer from our download section.
  2. Next, you should install the JAdmin! desktop application by executing the following two commands in a terminal window or shell prompt:
    chmod +x jadmin_linux_installer.sh
    sh jadmin_linux_installer.sh
  3. Once the installer completes. That's it! You're all done installing the JAdmin! desktop application.

Next you should add your user access key file to the desktop application by going to File -> My Websites from within the JAdmin! desktop application. You can download your user access key file by going to Components -> JAdmin! -> Users from within your Joomla! administrator.

Upgrading JAdmin! from an older version

To upgrade JAdmin! to a newer version; you can simply uninstall the old JAdmin! component, plugin, and desktop application by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla administrator.

Please note that by uninstalling the JAdmin! component, plugin,  and desktop application you will NOT suffer any loss of data or preferences. That data will remain untouched on your server even after you uninstall the JAdmin! suite.

After uninstalling the old component, plugin, and desktop application; you can now go ahead and install the latest version. 

Setting Up Data Pusher Cronjob

The data syncer cronjob is a worker process that sends out synchronization data out to the users desktop applications instead of the desktop applications polling data from the webserver. This method is recommended for maximum performance and maximum scalability for the number of users you have. If you plan on having a large amount of users or even more than 10 users then you are highly urged to use this data syncer cronjob method as opposed to the polling method which is also available as an option in JAdmin!. If you decide to use the polling syncer method instead of the data syncer cronjob, then it is also highly urged you exclude JAdmin! requests from your web log.

Add the following cronjob to your /etc/crontab file located on your webserver. The crontab file located may vary depending on the type of operating system you are running on your webserver.

*/5 *    * * *   www-data    php /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/components/com_jadmin/jadmin.cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

You will need to replace the path above with your path to the jadmin.cron.php file.
You will also need to replace the www-data user with your webserver user, for example apache.

After setting up the data syncer cronjob, it will execute every 5 minutes, however there is a built in mechanism that disallows the data syncer cronjob from running multiple instances at the same time. Technically we don't need to have the cronjob above run every 5 minutes because it is a worker process that continuously runs once launched until it is shutdown, however in this case we recommend running the data syncer cronjob every 5 minutes to simply ensure that it is always running even after a webserver restart and also because it has a built in mechanism that prevents multiple instances from running at the same time, so in this case it would be safe to execute this cronjob every 5 minutes.

Once the data syncer cronjob above is executed and running on your webserver, you can then switch your JAdmin! desktop application in data syncer pusher mode, which automatically disables the JAdmin!  desktop application polling mechnism. You can switch your JAdmin! desktop application into data syncer pusher mode by going to File -> My Preferences from within your JAdmin! desktop application and changing the Listen Post preference to 0. Defining 0 (zero) as the listen port will cause the JAdmin! desktop application to listen on 2 random consecutive TCP ports on your computer. This is where the JAdmin! desktop application will receive synchronization data from your webserver (from the data syncer pusher cronjob) for JAdmin!.

Alternatively, for maximum compatibility, the JAdmin! desktop application runs in polling mode by default which basically connects to your webserver every few seconds and fetches synchronization data. If you use this method then it is highly recommended to exclude JAdmin! requests from your web log as it may cause webserver performance/hardware degradation.

Excluding JAdmin! Requests from Web Log

Disabling logging for certain requests to your webserver will prevent performance degradation and/or your hard disk filling up. This step is not required but is highly recommended. If you do not have access to change your server configuration files, or if you are in a shared hosting environment, we highly recommend using JAdmin! in data sync pusher mode.

Edit your Joomla! website's .htaccess file, and insert the following 2 lines under "RewriteEngine On", so the end result will look like this:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} do_not_log[=,]true [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=dontlog:1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} do_not_log[=,]true [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=dontlog:1]

Then edit your virtual host configuration file, and follow the steps for your platform below.

Apache Webserver Instructions

  • Edit your virtual host configuration file, which is usually named httpd.conf, or apache2.conf, or <your-site-name>.conf and add "env=!dontlog" to the end of the "CustomLog" attribute, and add "AllowOverride All" or "AllowOverride FileInfo" so that it looks like this: <VirtualHost www.yourdomain.com:80>

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/httpdocs"
    ServerName www.yourdomain.com


    ......                            <-- Some other lines here

    <Directory "/var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/httpdocs">

    ......                            <-- Some other lines here


    # Either AllowOverride FileInfo, or AllowOverride All
    AllowOverride All

    </Directory>


    # Add env=!dontlog to the end of the CustomLog Attribute
    CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/logs/access.log common env=!dontlog



    ......                            <-- Some other lines here


    <VirtualHost>
  • Save those changes and restart apache.

 

Plesk Webserver Instructions

  • Edit /var/www/vhosts/<your-website.com>/conf/httpd.include and add "env=!dontlog" to the end of the "CustomLog" attribute. The end result should look something like this: <VirtualHost 100.22.22.22:80>

    CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/<your-website.com>/statistics/logs/access_log plesklog env=!dontlog
  • Save those changes and restart apache. You can restart apache by issuing the following command on linux:

    /etc/init.d/httpd restart

    or

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  • The only drawback on Plesk is that if you change your virtual host's settings through the Plesk Administration site, your changes to the httpd.include file will be overwritten by plesk. One way to work around this is to keep a backup copy of your httpd.include and perhaps name it httpd.good.include. That way if Plesk overwrites your httpd.include file, then you can just copy the correct httpd.good.include over the incorrect httpd.include file.

 

 

Uninstalling JAdmin!

To uninstall JAdmin!; you can simply uninstall the JAdmin! component, and plugin  by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla administrator. You may also choose to uninstall the JAdmin! desktop application from your computer.

Please note that by uninstalling the JAdmin! component, plugin, module and desktop application you will NOT cause loss of any saved data or preferences. That data will remain untouched on your server even after you uninstall JAdmin!.

Force removing the JAdmin! Joomla! component

If for some reason you need to forcefully remove the JAdmin! compoment; you can do so by deleting the following files located within your website's root directory:
components/com_jadmin/
components/administrator/com_jadmin/


Then issue the following SQL command on your MySQL database:
DELETE FROM jos_components WHERE option = 'com_jadmin';

Force removing the JAdmin! Joomla! plugin

If for some reason you need to forcefully remove the JAdmin! plugin; you can do so by deleting the following files located within your website's root directory:
plugins/system/jadmin.php
plugins/system/jadmin.xml


Then issue the following SQL command on your MySQL database:
DELETE FROM jos_plugins WHERE element = 'jadmin';

Force removing is not recommended because it can leave behind some language translation files located in your /language and /administrator/language directories. In which case you will also need to find all the JAdmin! translation files and delete them as well.

Hiding CMS Fruit Menu Items and Disabling Splash Image

The CMS Fruit related menu items and splash image on the JAdmin! desktop application can be hidden for cases where users want to custom brand the JAdmin! desktop application, simply by creating a file named custom.lock and placing it in the JAdmin! installation directory (where the jadmin.exe file is located)

For example, one might create an empty custom.lock file in the following path on their system:
c:\Program Files\CMS Fruit\JAdmin\custom.lock

You can also bundle your new custom.lock file with a new JAdmin! installer by adding your custom.lock file to the installer.nsi file located in your JAdmin! installation directory, and then recompiling the installer.nsi file using Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).

Creating a Custom JAdmin! Installer Package (JAdmin_Setup.exe)

You can create your own custom JAdmin_Setup.exe installer package for windows by recompiling the installer.nsi file that was bundled with JAdmin!, usually located in your JAdmin! installation directory:

c:\Program Files\CMS Fruit\JAdmin\installer.nsi

Troubleshooting

In order for JAdmin! to be able to function properly, it must have access to insert its required Javascript file into your template's <head></head> tag. Please ensure that your template contains the following line within the opening and closing <head></head> tag:

<jdoc:include type="head">

Your Joomla! template's <head></head> section should look something like this: <head>
<jdoc:include type="head">
......                            <-- Some other lines here
</head>


You can perform a system check by going to Components -> JAdmin! -> Information from within your Joomla administrator to check for any problems with your installation.

Your Joomla! Administrator is usually located @ http://<your-site>/administrator

If you have any further questions or support issues, please submit a debug report by going to Help -> Debug Repot -> Send to Technical Support from within the JAdmin! desktop application and then contact us by submitting a support ticket.

JTurbo is a software extension developed exclusively for Joomla! websites which instantly and effortlessly increases your website speed up to 50x the original speed by using various methods of optimization, including but not limited to: compression, parallel download optimization, squish image optimization, database optimization, and the offloading of static files to an ultrafast cloud network. JTurbo does all of this without modifying any of your existing site files. JTurbo does not scan, include, or transmit any of your website's PHP files or sensitive information.

This documentation contains all the steps and information necessary to setup and use JTurbo. You can use the "Article Index" on the right to skip between different sections in this article, or you can click the "Next" link below to proceed to the next section.

System Requirements

  • Joomla! 1.5.x or greator
  • PHP 5 or greator with cURL support enabled

You can check your PHP settings by going to Help -> System Info -> PHP Information from within your Joomla! administrator.

Installation Instructions

  1. Download the latest JTurbo package from our download section or by clicking here. Extract the contents of the JTurbo package you downloaded in Step 2 with any archive extraction software, like IZArch, which is available for free. In that archive file you will find the JTurbo component (com_jturbo.zip) and JTurbo plugin (plugin_jturbo.zip). Finally, install the JTurbo component and plugin, by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla administrator.
  2. After successfully installing the JTurbo component, and plugin; you have completed the JTurbo installation process! Now proceed to Components -> JTurbo -> Settings to supply JTurbo with your cloud network API access credentials. You can obtain your cloud network API access credentials from within the JTurbo Settings page or by clicking here.

How to Use JTurbo

You can begin using JTurbo by going to Components -> JTurbo ->Synchronize from within your Joomla administrator.

JTurbo will scan your website files for any files that can be offloaded to the cloud network, so if there are any folders, components, or files you wish to exclude from being offloaded to the cloud network, then proceed to Components -> JTurbo ->Settings -> File Exclusions from within your Joomla administrator and add an exclusion rule. For example, you may wish to exclude any folders that contain hundreds of thousands of files which may slow JTurbo's scanning process down. You can also exclude an entire component by specifying the exclude pattern as "com_<exclude_com_name_here>/" in the File Exclusions section.

First you should scan your website files by going to Components -> JTurbo ->Synchronize and then click the Scan My Website Files button. After the scan process has completed, the page will be refreshed. Then you should click the Synchronize My Website Files button to begin synchronizing your static files that can be offloaded to the cloud network. All the files that are successfully synchronized to the cloud network are automatically offloaded at run-time (on-the-fly).

Optionally, you can configure the JTurbo settings to your specific needs, however the default settings should work fine with all scenerios.

Webserver Level Integration

Optionally, you can integrate JTurbo at the webserver level by implementing the Mod-ReWrite rules listed in the Components -> JTurbo ->Synchronize -> Rewrite Rules section.

If you are using a webserver like, Apache which supports .htaccess files, then you can instantly integrate JTurbo at the webserver level by going to the Components -> JTurbo ->Synchronize -> Rewrite Rules section and clicking the Update My .htaccess File Now button.

If you decide to integrate JTurbo at the webserver level, then you may consider disabling the "Offload On The Fly?" setting which is available in the JTurbo settings page, in order to get best performance and avoid offloading files to the cloud network twice (once at the webserver level and once at run-time). Disabling the "Offload On The Fly?" setting will decrease JTurbo's cpu usage and also increase its performance.

Upgrading JLive! Chat from an older version

To upgrade JLive! Chat to a newer version; you can simply uninstall the old JLive! Chat component, plugin, module, and desktop application by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla administrator. After uninstalling the old component, plugin, module, and desktop application; you can then go ahead and install the latest version.


Please note that by uninstalling the JLive! Chat component, plugin, module and desktop application you will NOT suffer any loss of data or preferences. That data will remain untouched on your server even after you uninstall the JLive! Chat suite.

Setting Up Data Pusher Cronjob

The data pusher cronjob is a worker process that sends out synchronization data out to the operators desktop applications instead of the desktop applications polling data from the webserver. This method is recommended for maximum performance and maximum scalability for the number of operators you have. Users that plan to have a large amount of operators or even more than 10 operators are highly urged to use this data pusher ccronjob method as opposed to the polling method which is also available as an option in JLive! Chat. If you decide to use the polling syncer method instead of the data pusher cronjob, then it is also highly urged you exclude JLive! Chat requests from your web log.

Add the following cronjob to your /etc/crontab file located on your webserver. The crontab file located may vary depending on the type of operating system you are running on your webserver.

*/5 *    * * *   www-data    php /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/components/com_jlivechat/jlivechat.cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

You will need to replace the path above with your path to the jlivechat.cron.php file.
You will also need to replace the www-data user with your webserver user, for example apache.

After setting up the data pusher cronjob, it will execute every 5 minutes, however there is a built in mechanism that disallows the data pusher cronjob from running multiple instances at the same time. Technically we don't need to have the cronjob above run every 5 minutes because it is a worker process that continuously runs once launched until it is shutdown, however in this case we recommend running the data pusher cronjob every 5 minutes to simply ensure that it is always running even after a webserver restart and also because it has a built in mechanism that prevents multiple instances from running at the same time, so in this case it would be safe to execute this cronjob every 5 minutes.

Once the data pusher cronjob above is executed and running on your webserver, you can then switch your JLive! Chat desktop application in data pusher mode, which automatically disables the JLive! Chat desktop application polling mechnism. You can switch your JLive! Chat desktop application into data pusher mode by going to File -> My Preferences from within your JLive! Chat desktop application and changing the Listen Post preference to 0. Defining 0 (zero) as the listen port will cause the JLive! Chat desktop application to listen on 2 random consecutive TCP ports on your computer. This is where the JLive! Chat desktop application will receive synchronization data from your webserver (from the data pusher cronjob) for JLive! Chat.

Alternatively, for maximum compatiblity, the JLive! Chat desktop application runs in poll data mode by default which basically connects to your webserver every few seconds and fetches synchronization data. If you use this method then it is highly recommended to exclude JLive! Chat requests from your web log as it may cause webserver performance/hardware degradation.

Excluding JLive! Chat Requests from Web Log

Exlcuding web logging for JLive! Chat requests to your webserver will prevent performance degradation and/or your hard disk filling up. This step is not required but is recommended. If you do not have access to change your server configuration files, or if you are in a shared hosting environment, we highly recommend using JLive! Chat in data pusher mode or use hosted mode at the Ultimate Live Chat.com

Edit your Joomla! website's .htaccess file, and insert the following 2 lines under "RewriteEngine On", so the end result will look like this:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} do_not_log[=,]true [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=dontlog:1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} do_not_log[=,]true [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=dontlog:1]

Then edit your virtual host configuration file, and follow the steps for your platform below.


 

Apache Webserver Instructions

  1. Edit your virtual host configuration file, which is usually named httpd.conf, or apache2.conf, or <your-site-name>.conf and add "env=!dontlog" to the end of the "CustomLog" attribute, and add "AllowOverride All" or "AllowOverride FileInfo" so that it looks like this: <VirtualHost www.yourdomain.com:80>

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/httpdocs"
    ServerName www.yourdomain.com


    ......                            <-- Some other lines here

    <Directory "/var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/httpdocs">

    ......                            <-- Some other lines here


    # Either AllowOverride FileInfo, or AllowOverride All
    AllowOverride All

    </Directory>


    # Add env=!dontlog to the end of the CustomLog Attribute
    CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/www.yourdomain.com/logs/access.log common env=!dontlog



    ......                            <-- Some other lines here


    <VirtualHost>
  2. Save those changes and restart apache.

 

Plesk Webserver Instructions

  1. Edit /var/www/vhosts/<your-website.com>/conf/httpd.include and add "env=!dontlog" to the end of the "CustomLog" attribute. The end result should look something like this: <VirtualHost 100.22.22.22:80>

    CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/<your-website.com>/statistics/logs/access_log plesklog env=!dontlog
  2. Save those changes and restart apache. You can restart apache by issuing the following command on linux:

    /etc/init.d/httpd restart

    or

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  3. The only drawback on Plesk is that if you change your virtual host's settings through the Plesk Administration site, your changes to the httpd.include file will be overwritten by plesk. One way to work around this is to keep a backup copy of your httpd.include and perhaps name it httpd.good.include. That way if Plesk overwrites your httpd.include file, then you can just copy the correct httpd.good.include over the incorrect httpd.include file.

 

cPanel Instructions

  1. SSH to your webserver so that you can access your webserver's shell prompt.
  2. Copy your cPanel vhost template file from /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.default to /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local. You can copy this file by executing the following command at the shell prompt: sudo cp /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.default /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local
  3. Edit the new /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local file you created above and add env=!dontlog to the end of the "CustomLog" attribute. The final resulting file should look something like this: <VirtualHost 100.22.22.22:80>

    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mydomain.me combined env=!dontlog
  4. If you also want to exclude JLive! Chat requests from HTTPS requests, then repeat the step above, but this time by copying the file /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/ssl_vhost.default to /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/ssl_vhost.local. Otherwise you can skip this step.
  5. Now rebuild your vhost conf files by running the following command: sudo /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
  6. Now reload your apache webserver for the changes to take effect by running the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart or sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
For further information on customizing your cPanel configuration files, please visit:
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/EasyApache3/InsideVHost#Custom%20templates%20that%20will%20apply

Uninstalling JLive! Chat

To uninstall JLive! Chat; you can simply uninstall the JLive! Chat component, plugin, and module by going to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall from within your Joomla administrator. You may also choose to uninstall the JLive! Chat desktop application from your computer.

Please note that by uninstalling the JLive! Chat component, plugin, module and desktop application you will NOT cause loss of any saved data or preferences. That data will remain untouched on your server even after you uninstall JLive! Chat.

Force removing the JLive! Chat Joomla! component

If for some reason you need to forcefully remove the JLive! Chat compoment; you can do so by deleting the following files located within your website's root directory:
components/com_jlivechat/
components/administrator/com_jlivechat/

Then issue the following SQL command on your MySQL database:
DELETE FROM jos_components WHERE option = 'com_jlivechat';

Force removing the JLive! Chat Joomla! plugin

If for some reason you need to forcefully remove the JLive! Chat plugin; you can do so by deleting the following files located within your website's root directory:
plugins/system/jlivechat.php
plugins/system/jlivechat.xml

Then issue the following SQL command on your MySQL database:
DELETE FROM jos_plugins WHERE element = 'jlivechat';

Force removing is not recommended because it can leave behind some language translation files located in your /language and /administrator/language directories. In which case you will also need to find all the JLive! Chat translation files and delete them as well.

Hiding CMS Fruit Menu Items and Disabling Splash Image

The CMS Fruit related menu items and splash image on the JLive! Chat desktop application can be hidden for cases where users want to custom brand the JLive! Chat desktop application, simply by creating a file named custom.lock and placing it in the JLive! Chat installation directory (where the jlivechat.exe file is located)

For example, one might create an empty custom.lock file in the following path on their system:
c:\Program Files\CMS Fruit\JLive Chat\custom.lock

You can also bundle your new custom.lock file with a new JLive! Chat installer by adding your custom.lock file to the installer.nsi file located in your JLive! Chat installation directory, and then recompiling the installer.nsi file using Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).

Creating a Custom JLive! Chat Installer Package (JLive_Chat_Setup.exe)

You can create your own custom JLive_Chat_Setup.exe installer package for windows by recompiling the installer.nsi file that was bundled with JLive! Chat, usually located in your JLive! Chat installation directory:

c:\Program Files\CMS Fruit\JLive Chat\installer.nsi

Troubleshooting

In order for JLive! Chat to be able to function properly, it must have access to insert its required Javascript files into your template's <head></head> section. Please ensure that your template contains the following line within the opening and closing <head></head> tag:

<jdoc:include type="head">

Your Joomla! template's <head></head> section should look something like this: <head>
<jdoc:include type="head">
......                            <-- Some other lines here
</head>


You can perform a system check by going to Components -> JLive! Chat -> Information from within your Joomla administrator to check for any problems with your installation.

Your Joomla! Administrator is usually located @ http://<your-site>/administrator

If you have any further questions or support issues, please submit a debug report by going to Help -> Debug Repot -> Send to Technical Support from within the JLive! Chat desktop application and then contact us by submitting a support ticket.
