[Server-devel] XS software compatibility question

[Berkowitz Andrew (Project Connect)]

I am having a problem with the ejabberd.

I took the ejabberd.cfg & ejabberdctl.cfg files from a working server
and then changed the domain before starting ejabbered.

What do you suggest?

[root at localhost ~]# ejabberdctl ejabberd status
Node ejabberd at schoolserver is started. Status: started
ejabberd is not running
[root at localhost ~]# ps auxxwww | grep jabber
ejabberd  2672  0.0  0.0   1932   340 ?        S    10:32   0:00

The config file for ejabberd is in xs-config, so you will probably want
to replace the Fedora repos with the OLPC ones, and install xs-pkgs and
xs-config.

(I'm thinking evil thoughts about just installing the idmgr and ejabberd
packages and grabbing the ejabberd config file from git...   Since in
the NYC installation you provide all networking services externally!)

Definitely not, but I bet it will be close.
Don't forget to reboot after installing xs-config, to trigger any
post-first-boot network configurations...

We have no custom kernel, our repositories simply contain a freeze of
the Fedora 7 release/update repos at a recent date.  You are safe
there...

Thanks for working on this!
