* If port 80 is already in use, you can choose another port (e.g., `php -S localhost:8000 -t .`) and update the `BASE_URL` in `php/config.php` accordingly.
## 3. Configure Twitch API Credentials
## 3. Configure Twitch API Credentials and Application Secrets
**IMPORTANT:** Before proceeding, you must update the following values in `/home/joe/MultiChatOverlay/php/config.php`:
* `TWITCH_CLIENT_ID`: Your Twitch application's Client ID.
* `TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET`: Your Twitch application's Client Secret.
* `SESSION_SECRET`: A very long, random, and secure string for session encryption. **DO NOT use the placeholder value in production.**
1. **Create Twitch Application:** Go to the Twitch Developer Console (dev.twitch.tv/console/apps) and create a new application.
* Set the **OAuth Redirect URLs** to `http://localhost/auth.php` for local development. When deploying to your external domain (e.g., `https://multichat.ramforth.net`), you must update this to `https://multichat.ramforth.net/auth.php` in both the Twitch Developer Console and `php/config.php`.
