connection to jabber.laptop.org

Thu Dec 13 13:05:27 EST 2007

I also installed the rpm in custom machine(not a school server) in 1CC.

I must note that the
ejabberdctl-extra.diff<http://people.collabora.co.uk/%7Erobot101/olpc-ejabberd/ejabberdctl-extra.diff>patch
in the wiki page is for another version than
1.1.4.

I used the config file ejabberd.cgf which I  got from jabber.laptop.org
John, I didnt use the "jtest" account, but "omicron" which danny created for
me last week. I got the file from /home/wad

I couldnt register the admin account(is this necessary? because it is not
stated in the wiki)

I tried:
ejabberdctl register localhost admin admin (according to wiki)
ejabberdctl ejabberd register admin localhost admin (according to the
previous email)
or
ejabberdctl register admin localhost admin

Every time i received:
RPC failed on the node register at schoolserver : nodedown ro similar

Can anyone from collabora please specify the single correct way to configure
this, because we will never get it right.

Also i couldnt connect to http://yourserver:5280/admin/. Perhaps this is
expected since the admin account was not succefully created.

I could "telnet 18.85.46.175 5222" from an XO, or "telnet localhost 5222"
and successfully connected.
Note 18.85.46.175 is the servers IP.

I tried to connect to the custom jabber server through an XO by
sugar-control-panel -s jabber 18.85.46.175
sugar reboot

The gabble logs, which i attach, show an initial succefull connection, which
failed later on.
Also in the server side, the following message poped up:
INFO REPORT:
[(<0.185.0>:ejabberd_listener:90):(#port<0.388>) Accepted
connection({0,0,0,0,0,65535,46935,5098,56209}) ->
({0,0,0,0,65535,46935,11951,5223})]
or similar.

The XO was finally connected to salut. However, no other XO has managed to
connect to jabber.laptop.org successfully the past week. Is there a reason
for this?

Can you please try to connect to this server(18.85.46.175), and see what you
get?

The important matter is to have straight-forward step by step instructions
to set up the jabber server.
Can anyone please provide that?
