Topic: New Jabber Instant Messenger RPM and How To available

[Jon Blakely]

I have just put a new Jabber RPM and How To up on my site. This RPM installs Jabber server and the Transports and allows them to be run in seperate processes so that you can turn a Transport off without turning the Jabber Server off.
It allows the configuration of the Jabber Server, Transports and Hostname  from the Server Manager. No more modifying the XML files.
You can get it here

I have just discovered a small bug which I have just fixed and have updated the RPM.

Noticed your gallery download, are all those files required to s/u a gallery?

[Terry Brummell]

Chad, here's where you can get a How-To on setting up gallery:

Hi, is this realy all that's needed to get Jabber upp and running. I installed Your RPMs om a SME 5.1.2 and it is impossible to connect. I am using WinJab as a client and it works when connecting to jabber.org. Is there any config to do after installation of the RPMs?

[Jon Blakely]

Did you read the How To and set up the  Jabber hostname and server configurations via the Mitel Server Manager.

Jon

[Mats Nordahl]

Yes I have set it up according to the HOWTO, first as a "local" jabber server with the IP 192.168.1.1 and then with the domain name xxxxxx.nu. What do I do wrong, is it a DNS problem? Can You give me an example HOWTO?

[Jon Blakely]

Mats, a couple of suggestions. Once you have changed the hostname, restart the jabber server by disabling  and re-enabling it in the configuration panel.
Second go to console and at root prompt type

[root@sme5 /root]# service jabber status

and it should come back with

jabber is running ... []

you can also try to telnet to the jabber server

[root@sme5 /root]# telnet 192.168.2.1 5222
Trying 192.168.2.1...
Connected to 192.168.2.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

type in any rubbish, enter and you should get the following reply

Invalid XMLConnection closed by foreign host.

Let me know the results

Jon

[Mats Nordahl]

Yeah, that worked exactly as You said it would.
Now what?

[Mats Nordahl]

Now we're talking. I am upp and running.
You have done a nice job, thank You wery much!

[Mats Nordahl]

I have my jabberserver upp and running but I can't get the ICQ- , Yahoo- , MSN- and AIM-transport to work. Can You give me directions.

[Jon Blakely]

Mats,

Do you have ticks (checks) beside the services you want to run on the Jabber configuration page..

Did you download and install the pth-1.4.1 rpm. This is needed to get the Transports to work.

Jon

I think I am missing something too. Just when I thought I was starting to get a clue on this stuff.....

I have installed as Mats also said as per the howto. The service jabber status and telnet worked just as you said.

Now, at the client side, I put in a user name and password and clicked the new user box. I click OK and get: "Attempting to connect to blah.blah.blah... Disconnected from server!"

Am I missing something on the administration side? How do you add and remove users from the server?

Thanks,

Bill

[Jon Blakely]

Bill,

Adding users is done via the client. If you are not already a user then it will prompt you to register.  Make sure that the host name on the client matches your server hostname.

I would also suggest that you restart the server by disabling it on the configuration panel then re-enable it. I have found that if you change the hostname with the server still running you cannot connect. I will add this to the HowTo.

Jon

[Mats Nordahl]

Yes I have and Yes I did.
The MSN-transport seams to work and the AIM-transport works but AOL does not allow it because they say that "it is not an approwede software".
