oh, sweet success! I got everything working, and finally, life is good. :-)

badlop, thanks for the detailed response. It definitely cleared some things up for me.

teo, thanks again for the tip about Gaim. I was able to get a chat room configured by temporarily using Miranda, then switched back to my usual Gaim client, and everything works.

Suggestion: Since ejabberd supports a nice web-based configuration system, perhaps it would be possible to add the ability add/configure chat rooms through the web interface? Shouldn't be too difficult to write, and I think it'd be a very useful feature.

Thanks!

Answers:

I cannot add a new DNS entry specifically for MUC --> I did not need to add any DNS stuff for MUC. It may be necessary to allow other servers to access your MUC, but you certainly don't need it for your users.
how do I configure MUC to work? --> The default configuration is enought, it should work. You can enter a room with any conference-enabled Jabber client
How can I configure it? --> To configure a chatroom you need MUC-enabled clients, like Gaim, Exodus, Tkabber, Pandion, JAJC... Just enter a new chatroom, and since you're the owner, you can configure it.
How can I setup a permanant chat room? --> One option in the chatroom configuration formulary is 'make permanent'.
How do I enable logging for MUC? --> You can enable it configuring a chatroom. But that feature is not implemented, so enabling logging does nothing. Until the feature is implemented, two solutions:
- This patch adds chatroom logging to ejabberd CVS. It generates HTMLs on a directory that you can serve it with your Web server.
- Setup a chat bot, for example Chatbot, and configure it to log the rooms you want.

ahh, ok. So then, aside from

ahh, ok. So then, aside from the Gaim bug, my configuration should be setup correctly? Is there anything else that I may have to worry about?

Bug in GAIM

It's a bug in GAIM. See http://lists.jabber.ru/pipermail/ejabberd/2005-January/000678.html for details.
