Topic: Jabber Problems

[Scott Lewis]

I have followed the jabber HOW TO quite closely and last night I did an install.

A couple off problems though:-

1. I have no opt/jabber/spool directory. Now, do I just create one?

2. Clients. There is quite alot of client sout there and tried a few but none work. If would be nice to have a How To of say a java based client or another one.

I did setup a client but it wont connect, proably because there is no spool directory.

Also, what persissions nead to be on the jabber directory and files, is 755 ok, or should it be 777?

1. I have no opt/jabber/spool directory. Now, do I just create one?

Yes. Make sure that the directory is owned, and is writable, by the user that Jabber is running as.

2. Clients. There is quite alot of client sout there and tried a few but none work. If would be nice to have a How To of say a java based client or another one.

I use WinJab and it works well. Most clients come with pretty good documentation on how to set them up.

755 is fine.

I have installed Winjab, and setup the the server name. I have also played with setting up the domain name in there under the setting of :-
localhost, changing where appropriate. I just want this reely ro run locally

As per the How To. I though constantly get the error:-

20020129T20:53:07: [notice] (scott-lewis.d2g.com): bouncing a routed packet to slewis1972@scott-lewis.d2g.com from 14@c2s/80DB378: Internal Delivery Error

20020129T21:02:09: [notice] (linux): bouncing a routed packet to slewis1972@linux from 14@c2s/812ADD8: Internal Delivery Error

Winjab reportsd the error:-

[21:14:11] Attempting to Connect to scott-lewis.d2g.com...
[21:14:12] COMM Error Could not establish Stream. Session Closed. (0)
[21:14:12] Could not connect. Pausing 5 seconds.
[21:14:12] Disconnected from Server!


So, I gather its not connecting.

Any ideas?

I must add, I can connect to jabber.org. I have setit to debug mode, and it says in the file:-

A pidfile already exists at the specified location.  Check to ensure another copy of the server is not running, or remove the existing file.


I though have checked the spool folder, and nothing is in there. I am constantly trying to get WInjab to register a new account.

Can anyone assist.

Hi Noah

I know you are going to look at my jabber.xml file but I was thinking why not post with the HowTo a copy of your jabber.xml file (without your server details of course), and a original jabber.xml file, that way we can compare them and see where you have made alterations to get it to work.

What do you think?

I did a search on rpmfind.net and found a whole lot of rpms for jabber

There was a set of rpms for jabber-1.4-1 including all the transports , I havent tried them as it seems that it is an older version, has anyone been able to get things like conferencing and JUD to work with v1.4.2

I would make sure that the machine running jabber is able to resolve its on name (what you put in localhost) i had alot of problemswith a test machine that was not resolving

Good Luck
