[Server-devel] Hoping for assistance with XS 0.5 configuration difficulties (ejabberd)

[Holt]

          <dbennett> hi all, I'm working on a deployment in Nigeria this 
afternoon and we are having a tough time getting the XS jabber server 
web admin interface to work
16:05 <dbennett> we have managed to get it to prompt for a user/pass 
combo which seems to require user at node.domain which in my case is 
dan at schoolserver.lccnyola.org
16:06 <dbennett> if we get any part of that or the password in correct, 
it just empties both fields of the prompt and waits for new info. 
However, if we enter user at fqdn as I showed above and enter the correct 
password then it accepts our input and the prompt disappears. However, 
all it returns is a "401 Unauthorized" page
16:11 <dbennett> We've added the: {acl admin {user, "dan", 
"schoolserver.lccnyola.org <http://schoolserver.lccnyola.org>"}}. line 
to the access control list in /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg
16:11 <dbennett> We are running XS 0.5
16:13 <dbennett> We are able to connect to the server with multiple 
users via jabber clients like pidgin and psi. However, we can't seem to 
get admin rights to stick to any of the users. I also can't figure out 
if there are multiple types of admin rights (rights to 
http://server/admin/) vs admin rights within a jabber client (show all 
online users, etc)

16:18 <dbennett> If anyone can lend any insight it would be much 
appreciated. This is my 3rd day working on this issue. I'm learning more 
bits about ejabberd, but i've only got a week left before coming back to 
the states and would like to have my local server admin running a 
working school server before I leave.
16:52 <dbennett> If you reply to this later in the day and I don't reply 
to your reply, PLEASE send your replies to the email based version of 
this request sent to server-devel at lists.laptop.org 
<mailto:server-devel at lists.laptop.org> as I have only infrequent 
internet access, and no ability to use an external IRC client from my 
present location. Thanks! -Dan

Hi all, 

I am working on an unofficial 100 XO pilot project in Jimeta, Nigeria 
until the end of the month and I've run into a wall configuring the 
school server.  I outlined it on IRC before bringing it here.  Because 
of the time difference and inconsistent internet connection, email is 
probably a better medium for assistance.

I hope that someone can help.  I really need to move through this issue 
as quickly as possible if we're going to have a working school server at 
this deployment before Ieave town next Saturday morning.  There is much 
left to do besides tackling the XS. 

Thanks!
-Dan
