ejabberd - Comments for "Install JWChat (Jabber Web Chat) using Apache"

In fact, you really don't

fk_ — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:40:55 +0000

In fact, you really don't need to have separate web server to handle jwchat's stuff. Just use integrated ejabberd's web server module called mod_http_fileserver.
I you still want to use apache2 so please take a look at its log files somewhere in /var/log/apache2 to see what happens to requests to jwchat.

help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hello,

Ihad configured jwchat using http bind server every thing is ok

Now I want to use jwchat configured on apache2 with ejabberd.
I am using the latest versions. But when I run the jwchat page, click the login button, jwchat window opens but then a message pops out with "service not available" message.

help me please

I can install a virtual server for you, you can install a proxy

I worked out a tomcat proxy which can be installed on windows and anywhere else. You can name the proxy. No body knows there is a backend ejabberd running behind. Then you can add a couple of contexts of your own.

Now it works with Firefox 3 for httpbinding

I just got the newest jwchat and it's jsjac lib by cvs. I follow the instruction in README.CVS and did make and make install.
I installed a lot of perl files which are needed when I make install.
Then changed config.js file from http-poll to http-bind.
The same thing in the /extra/httpd-vhost.conf file.
Now /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart!

Great! Now it works with Firefox 3.0. and 2.0 and IE as well!

My configuration are:

Freebsd 7.2 pre-release. Ejabberd 2.0.3. Apache 2.2. Postgresql 8.0.3. Jwchat from jwcha.org via cvs and svn its jsjac. I used Squid 3.0 to proxy Apache to make SSL work. Before, when http-polling, Apache won't work SSL.

I have made it working.

But I really do not know how.

What I know your case is that the error message shown is right because you are trying to use http to poll some kind of stream data. They won't talk. It should not talk.
Any body else is misleading you guys.

Your problem is you did not get Apache work with jwchat for ejabberd.

What I did is in the httpd-vhost.conf, put something like this:

ProxyRequest off
ProxyPass /http-poll http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll
RroxyPassReverse /http-poll http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll

allow all

I use everything from FreeBSD 7.2.

Firefox3.0 not working though. Microsoft IE works.

Have you worked out?

breakevilaxis — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:23:04 +0000

I have installed Ejabberd 2.0.3. I cannot make Apache-Jwchat work with it. I use ejabberdctl to register user then use psi to connect it via http-poll. It works with psi.
My apache can load jwchat html and image files. But the lights are dark. It won't turn on. I checked the log file. Everything is fine. It seems the problem is when the apache go to post to ejabberd. It got a 400 error. Seems ejabberd won't talk to Apache. All GETs are OK.
ejabberd works with psi's http-poll proxy setting up, this means ejabberd http-poll is working.
Apache can load jwchat's html files and images files, this means Apache is working.
All we have to do is to get Apache(May be our Browser) to talk to ejabberd!

I have this same problem. I spent two weeks trying to get OpenFire to work with JWChat, and then gave up. Now I am having similar problems with ejabberd.

Ejabberd is installed and working. I can log in, create a chat room, and chat with my friends. So ejabberd appears to be working.

These both appear the same, so it seems that the Apache redirection is working correctly. However, both of these pages give me a "XML Parsing Error: no element found" message. Is that normal? I have no idea.
http://www.mortshire.org:5280/http-poll/
http://www.mortshire.org/jwc/http-poll/

I can see the JWChat login screen, BUT no matter what user name and password I use, it LOOKS like it logs me in -- but doesn't. I then get a "service unavailable" message.

I am at my wits end. I have read and read all the tutorials I can find, and nothing seems to help. I would like so much if someone who knows how all of this is SUPPOSED to work could give me a hint.

Please?

Hi,

I am facing the same problem as mentioned above with JWChat + ejabberd + apache
I have installed the ejabberd server and when I log-in via webadmin, it allows to be login but when I try to log-in via JWChat, it gives the error "Service unavailable".

But when I try to access the link:
http://ejabberd.oac.com:5280/http-bind/

The result comes like this:
Ejabberd mod_http_bind v1.2

An implementation of XMPP over BOSH (XEP-0206)

But when I try to use this:
http://ejabberd.oac.com:5280/http-poll/

This result comes:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://ejabberd.oac.com:5280/http-poll/
Line Number 1, Column 1:
^

I tried to make the changes as mentioned in this url (http://www.ejabberd.im/jwchat-localserver) and after making the ejabberd changes, as I restart ejabberd server, it crashes..

I am not able to login via JWChat...
any help will be highly appreciated..

I have installed ejabberd at linux machine (fadora 8) and using the Mozila Firefox browser to run JWChat.

HTTP-Polling Issues

mlywang — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:38:54 +0000

Hello, I've installed JWChat and ejabberd with Apache 2.2, and I've been having communications issues (specifically, the ports aren't redirecting).

I've included the LoadModules for mod_proxy and mod_rewrite, and this is the .htaccess file:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options +MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule http-poll/ http://localhost:5280/http-poll/ [P]

Is there something wrong with what I have in my .htaccess file? I've already added the appropriate AllowOverride All in the apache config file.

service unavailable

pratikdbl — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:17:14 +0000

Hello, I want to use jwchat configured on apache2 with ejabberd. I am using the latest versions. But when I run the jwchat page, click the login button, jwchat window opens but then a message pops out with "service not available" message. When I type http://myserver.com/http-bind/ it is redirected to http://myserver.com:5280/http-bind/. This means apache2 is redirecting to http-bind of ejabberd. There is no error log in apache. Is this the problem of ejabberd.
Also if I use jwchat with the mod_http_fileserver feature of ejabberd, it is working fine.
My httpd.conf is like this

ServerName myserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/jwchat

Options +Indexes +MultiViews

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule http-bind/ http://myserver.com/http-bind/

Please help me. Its been 3 weeks I am working for this.

Regards,
Pratik

Thanks ! It is working fine

I guess you mean ejabberd 2.0.0-beta1.

It works for me using this tutorial: Install JWChat with ejabberd's HTTP-Bind and file server
