The biggest bugaboo I encountered, though, was getting GAIM 1.5.0 to connect. I don't have another server to test this aspect yet, maybe I will investigate and write further later. There's also a nodes page which is probably part of the fault-tolerance/rollover mechanism. In the web admin panel you can set access controls and add users, it doesn't look like you can add modules from here though.
#INSTALL EJABBERD UBUNTU PASSWORD#
Hopefully you still remember the password you set from earlier. For username, enter where user is the account you made earlier with ejabberdctl and server is the hostname you inserted into the ejabberdctl.cfg file. Replacing 192.168.0.2 with the IP or hostname of your new ejabberd server. Then fire up your favorite web browser and point it to Once this is done issue the command: sudo /etc/init.d/ejabberd restartĪnd to double-check it's running: sudo ejabberdctl status Gotta love the one-character login, I use it whenever I can. % will be successfully registered on server to get admin access: Add line like one of the following after you You'll also want to sudo and use "ejabberdctl register" to make yourself an account which you'll add into the same file for admin access. It works with only a couple of hacks, you need to go into the /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg and put your hostname in where it tells you in the comments, comme ca: % Host(s) name: (replace for your hostname(s)) I installed it a couple of days ago after trying jabberd briefly. Ubuntu has mostly been great about working out-of-the-box for me, with a few unsurprising exceptions.Įjabberd has more recommendations that I can find, as it will do encryption and web-based administration.


I recently decided to tackle the task of serving a jabber daemon, having recently switched to Ubuntu Breezy after years of wandering among Fedora, Debian, and Slackware. I Originally posted this in response to a forum on the Ubuntu forums.
