I am trying to set up a a peer to peer communication via my website.
This is for chatting and possible Voip.

After setting up a secure folder on the server I tried to install ejabber, but I can't find anyway to install ejabber on the website server.

Ideally if it is running on the server there I could create a multiple platform chat client and I could chat anywhere (mobile)

I have looked at irc and mirc, but how easy is this to set up encrypted?

Theoritically it should be possible, but I just can't seem to find the right software for this. And if I search on the internet well I get hundreds of hits. I just can't find anything with which I can set-up a encrypted connection to the webserver where two or more can meet.

Ideally this would be for an Apache cross-platform set-up. I have shared hosting, so unfortunately I can't edit the Apache files.

You can't install ejabberd on a shared hosting. ejabberd is a daemon; server admin should install and run it. You need your own server - dedicated or VPS, to be able to administer it and install different software. Including IRC server, by the way.

I vote for Jabber though. It's open source and has lots of cool features. Even Google supports it (every Gmail account is a Jabber account at the same time).
