"Internal" or "library load" components that load at runtime into a jabberd 1.4 instance can be used by placing the 1.4 instance into "uplink" mode. An appropriate "linker" alias needs to be added to router.xml to support this.
Jabberd 2 does not provide XDB and logging facilities. For "internal" components, these can be provided by the enclosing jabberd 1.4 instance. For "external" components, they will need to connect to a 1.4 instance that provides these services, which in turn uplinks to the Jabberd 2 router.
authreg table because this only introduces users to the c2s component, but not to the sm component. Correct entries are required in the active table as well. It is best to use a Jabber client to register users. If this is not acceptable, corresponding entries can be manually created in the active table, or the session manager can be configured to create new users automatically the first time they log in. Uncomment the auto-create tag in the User options section of sm.xml to enable auto-creation of new users. (Note that enabling auto-create does not enable inband registration, as only users that pass the c2s component are created.)
--with-package=path has been replaced with --with-extra-include-path path and --with-extra-library-path path. The paths searched also changed with stable 3; therefore, it may be necessary to specify a path(s) to a package that was automatically found by a previous release. See Section 3.3.
--enable-authreg=package and --enable-storage=package have been replaced with a simpler --enable-package option. Thus to enable MySQL for authreg and/or storage, one would use the option --enable-mysql. See Section 3.3. Because the configure script does not report invalid options, using an option such as --enable-authreg=mysql would cause neither the configure nor the build to crash; however, the MySQL driver would not be compiled in. If you then set the XML configuration files to use MySQL, Jabberd 2 would crash.
netstat -l |grep postgres). If not, modify postgresql.conf, setting tcpip_socket = true and restart. If problems still exist, check the pg_hba.conf file and check if TCP/IP connections are authorized (i.e. an appropriate host record exists).
./configure script searches several locations; however, if the script cannot find your Berkeley DB installation, you should specify the location as a parameter when running ./configure. For example, if you are running Berkeley DB version 4.2, you may need to run ./configure as below:
./configure --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/
select `collection-owner`, `object-sequence`, `jid`, `group` from `roster-groups`;
/tmp/mysql.sock. The default socket when installing MySQL from source is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. You will need to create a symlink to /tmp/mysql.sock if it does not exist:
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
./configure to fail on Redhat is that Redhat ships with a MySQL installation that does not include the development libraries required by Jabberd 2. See the MySQL question under Building and Installation above. The second reason that ./configure might fail is that Redhat stores the MySQL libraries and include files separately. Run ./configure with both paths (as below) to identify both locations:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql:/usr/lib/mysql
./configure is run. However, Kerberos references cause the Jabberd 2 build to crash.
There is an easy work around for this problem. Execute the command below before running ./configure :
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/kerberos/include"
./configure cannot find Berkeley DB, it may be because libpthreads is not linked. Run ./configure as below to fix this:
./configure [options] LDFLAGS=-lpthread
./configure. To fix this, run ./configure with the paths to both as below (replacing "mysql" with "pgsql" for PostgreSQL installations):
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql:/usr/lib/mysql
