We got our internal ag server up and started on the jabber server. I was able
to snag one of our linux guys for a few days to configure the xml files but he
didn't have enough time and is now on vacation. He said before he left that he
was very close. I was wondering if you could make available your jabber.xml
and muc.xml files so that I might finish setting it up. Any help at this point
would be greatly appreciated. I could include our files if needed.
thanks

I have been tasked to set up a private AG server to be used only within
our organization. The jabber server is the real question mark for me. Are you
recommendations below still valid? Also have you seen any tutorials yet?
Paul,
We're currently using jabberd14-1.6.11 and mu-conference-0.7 as the jabber
component for the APAG venue server. We've been running this way since 29th
November without any problems - in fact I don't think any of our users are even
aware of the change.
I've made a Slackware binary package but since you're you're probably not
using Slackware, here are the first steps in building from the source code.
Firstly, download:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/distfiles/jabberd14-1.6.1.1.tar.gz
and
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/distfiles/mu-conference_0.7.tar.gz
Unpack them somewhere convenient. Now cd into the mu-conference0.7 directory
and apply the patch below (it removes a build dependency on mysql, which we're
not using).Now cd into the src directory and run make.
Then cd back into the jabber14-1.6.1.1 directory and run:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/jabberd localstatedir=/var
and:
make
There are now some configuration files to take care of. Let me know if you
get this far and I'll make them available somewhere to download, as well as an
explanation of how they're used.
Build dependencies will depend on your platform, however I had to first
install libgpg-error libgcrypt gnutls libidn and libtasn1 libraries.
Good luck.

Hello All,
I know this topic has been covered before but I was unable to find
a solution anywhere…
I know there are lots of jabber server software packages found at:
http://www.jabber.org/software/servers.shtml
But I’m wondering, has anyone come upon any guides/tutorials for
any the above and how to configure them to work with AG3 specifically?
Windows OS preferred but Linux is fine too!
I've just been looking into this and have some working solutions but
no tutorials yet. However as a quick summary - I have used both Debian &
Slackware distros with:
jabberd-1.4.3 and jabber-muc-0.6.0
and
jabberd14-1.6.11 and mu-conference-0.7
Probably the latter combination will be a better long term bet.
The jabberd component does the IM style stuff; mu-conference is what
supports the chat rooms (AG venues).
Basically, compile the jabber & muc components. Then configure them -
thats what took me the most time. Each component has its own xml configuration
file; they know about each other via an additional <s2s> section in jabber.xml.
You'll also need to enable ssl on port 5223 in jabber.xml and provide a
certificate location in there too (I used an AG server certificate I happened
to have on hand which seems to work OK).
Feel free to email me directly for specific details as you need them.
