JWChat installation in Windows

JKing — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:59:52 +0000

For those who may not be familiar with scriptin in Windows, the command to rename JWChat's English files would be thus:

for %a in (*.en) do ren "%a" "%~na"

This method works both with IE and Firefox now.

I used the latest Jwchat by cvs and the latest jsjac by svn and the instruction here to set up ejabberd 2.0.3 in Freebsd 7.2 prerelease. It works both with firefox and IE. The polling works only with IE. Someone said IE breaks with httpbinding. It is not true for me.
The good news is that, now I get firefox3 on freebsd to chat. with polling, it never happened.

This is a better way to set up ejabberd. We do not won't fool around with Apache and Tomcat any more.

When you want to try this, please do not forget read the README.CVS file.
By the way, you have to install a lot perl files
You can do it this way:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
....
cpan> install HTML::Template
cpan> install Locale::Maketext
cpan> install Locale::Maketext::Lexicon
...
when you make install, what ever is missing, you install it.

The make install is using bash. They assume it is in /bin/
If you are using csh,
you have to whereis bash
My bash is in /usr/local/bin/
So you have to change the cplibs.sh file.
If you do not have bash, you have to make one before make install.

I got the same problem as you.

The light bulb won't turn on. Cannot chat.
Have you fix it?
I cannot find any thing in the log.

Thank-you

I finally got the ejabberd + jwchat working.

After I just wrote a lengthy piece asking for help (which was this that I will now turn to this thank-you as it's not necessary any more).

Should have just followed the instructions to the letter.

Full installation example

I first installed ejabberd-2.0.1_4-windows-installer.exe then followed the instructions in this comment to get a working mod_http_fileserver.beam
https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-640?focusedCommentId=21403#a...

Then I configured in ejabberd.cfg

{listen, [
  ...
  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
                         {request_handlers, [{["web"], mod_http_fileserver}]},
			 http_bind, 
			 http_poll, 
			 web_admin
			]}

 ]}.

...

{modules, [
  {mod_http_fileserver, [
    {docroot, "C:\\ejabberd-2.0.1\\logs"},
    {accesslog, "C:\\ejabberd-2.0.1\\logs\\webaccess.log"}
  ]},
  ...
 ]}.

When I request the file http://localhost:5280/web/ejabberd.log in the web browser I get it correctly.

Nothing is logged in ejabberd.log or sasl.log. I only get that message in webaccess.log:

127.0.0.1 - - [1/8/2008:23:18:24] "GET /web/ejabberd.log?nokey=" 200 -1 "-" "-"

same problem

Same story here.. I went ahead and tried to make a blank page in my web directory and I can see the requests in the logs -- they just aren't being served.
if I look at my /var/lib/ejabberd/ejabberd.log I can see this:

I(<0.1728.0>:ejabberd_http:178): (#Port<0.1382>) http query: 'GET' /web/jwchat/index.html

I don't have an accesslog in /var/log/ejabberd/webaccess.log to look at as mentioned in the config file.

My perms look like:
/var/lib/ejabberd
drwxr-xr-x 3 ejabberd ejabberd 4096 2008-07-29 11:01 www
/varlib/ejabberd/www
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ejabberd ejabberd 5 2008-07-29 10:08 index.html
drwxr-sr-x 4 ejabberd ejabberd 36864 2008-07-29 10:49 jwchat

I also had started up a simple webserver on port 5280 and that was able to pull pages remotely so it's not an issue of ports.

so I guess my problem is something to do with the http_fileserver and/or the config.
My config files look thus:

{mod_http_fileserver, [
{docroot, "/var/lib/ejabberd/www/"},
{accesslog, "/var/log/ejabberd/webaccess.log"}
]},
{mod_offline, []},

and..

% HTTP service (You may choose options HTTP-polling and Web-administering)
% When commenting out, be careful with commas
{5280, ejabberd_http, [
{request_handlers, [
{["web"], mod_http_fileserver}
]},
http_bind,
http_poll,
web_admin]}
]}.

telnet 127.0.0.1 5280
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /web/jwchat/index.html HTTP/1.0

am I missing something here?

Document Root Format

mlywang — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:41:58 +0000

Hello, I've installed ejabberd and am trying to configure JWChat with HTTP-Binding, on a Windows machine.

On startup, the logs are spitting out one error:

=ERROR REPORT==== 2008-07-14 17:54:53 ===
E(<0.36.0>:gen_mod:66) : {unaccessible_document_root,mod_http_fileserver}

Here is the corresponding config file notes:

{mod_http_fileserver, [
{docroot, "F:\\Program Files\\ejabberd-2.0.1\\www"}
{accesslog, "F:\\Program Files\\ejabberd-2.0.1\\webaccess.log"}
]}

Is there something I'm missing with the Windows formatting for ejabberd? Any help is appreciated.

blank page

pingu22 — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:22:37 +0000

Hi,

I followed this tutorial but I'm getting a blank page when I point to http://jabber.example.org:5280/web/jwchat/index.html

Ejabberd is running and I can access admin page.
I didn't change anything in my httpd.conf, I only did what are in this tutorial page.

I don't know why is showing a blank page and firebug is empty too...

Any help?

Would it work though?

noise — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:04:57 +0000

Posting from web client -> ejabberd works (in my solution with rewrite rules) but the response ejabberd -> web client doesn't work at all, I get nothing back.

I think you have to set up a proxy for it to work. Does anyone know how to do this on windows/IIS ?

[edit]
My wrong.. I had this problem with IIS but only because I set up the rule as forwarding and not as proxying. It should work swell.

Jabber on remote server

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 21:46:18 +0000

I have Jabber on a different server from where jwchat is installed. I am in the process of trying to figure out how to integrate jwchat inside our portal. So, I have jwchat installed where are portal resides. Does anyone know if this is going to be a problem? Is there any additional steps that I will need to take to point to my remote jabber server?

Thanks

Session not opening for browser on remote machine

dannyh — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:37:35 +0000

I have installed ejabberd and jwchat as described above, modified appropriately for windows. Ejabberd seems to be running fine, and i can login using jwchat from a browser running locally. However when i try to login using jwchat from a browser on a different machine, then a session is not opened. I get the login page, and the chat pop-up, and looking in the logs i can see that my username, password is authenticated. But for some reason no session is actually opened.

I see this in the logs:

=INFO REPORT==== 2008-03-18 10:14:22 ===
I(<0.368.0>:ejabberd_c2s:676) : ({socket_state,ejabberd_http_bind,{http_bind,<0.366.0>},<0.367.0>}) Accepted authentication for testuser

but not this:

=INFO REPORT==== 2008-03-18 10:13:38 ===
I(<0.362.0>:ejabberd_c2s:787) : ({socket_state,ejabberd_http_bind,{http_bind,<0.360.0>},<0.361.0>}) Opened session for testuser@jabber.blot.net/jwchat

which i get whan i successfully login from local browser.

Any ideas?

Thanks D.

Couldn't you just setup a

Anonymous — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:39:43 +0000

Couldn't you just setup a redirect with your apache server?

ie:

www.yourcompany.com/jwchat (port:80) -> chat.yourcompanyname.com:5280/etc/ ?

this way it's an easy URL for your users, but still redirects to the special port..

I did the same way as shown above in the tutorial. But when I tried to login/register it showed service unavailable. Please reply me what must be the problem.
