Topic: Jabber Instant Messenger and Transport How To and SME 6.0 ?

[ronspicer]

I need help!!!   I am trying to install Jabber Instant Messenger on to my SME Server 6.0 from the how to located on this site.  Once I type in ./install.sh from the root I receive the following error.

# ./install.sh
bash: ./install.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Can anyone help or has anyone created a how to for installing Jabber Instant Messenger on a SME 6.0 Server?  I need this ASAP.

I used that howto and didn't have any problems.  I did a chmod 755 install.sh, then ./install.sh.  If you still can't get the install.sh to run, then just manually run the commands.  The install only runs these 2 RPM's:

rpm -Uvh pth-1.4.1-1rh71.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh e-smith-jabber-IM*.noarch.rpm

NOTE: This does not work for SSL connections.  I don't know if Jon Blakely, did a ./configure --enable-ssl, when making this package.  I tried to manually change the port from 5222 to 5223, but I could never get connected.  Also, I played around a little with the yahoo transport, but couldn't get that to work either.  I haven't looked into what else is needed in order to get the transports to work.  If you get jabber installed and the transports working, please make sure you update this thread so I can learn how it needs to be done.

I did try to enable-ssl when running ./configure but got so many build errors it failed. I tried for a couple of days to get it build with ssl but gave up in the end.

There is a problem with the e-smith-jabber-IM rpm on SME V6. The service doesn't restart after the server is restarted. I havn't really looked into it yet

I keep planning to re-visit the rpms and update to jabber 2. Maybe without the transports this time as they keep changing every time MSN, AOL, Yahoo change their protocols.
