ejabberd - Comments for "using Apache-1.3??"

You normally do not need the JID of an administrator. Just enter an existing Jabber ID and its password, or create a new account. Maybe you should contact the JWChat author, because this seems to be a JWChat (configuration) issue.

two issues

kline — Tue, 16 May 2006 18:00:25 +0000

I changed

servers_allowed:[SITENAME] to servers_allowed:['sage.thought.org'].

Same results. When I point mozilla at http://sage.thought.org/jwchat
the first things that pop-up are the error dialogs with the strings:

"JID is missing\nAborting" and "Password is missing\nAborting"

which seems to mean that I am missing the name of (at least?) the name of a JWChat admin. So the first thing is: how-to resolve this missing JID/password issue? I understand that if *I* am the admin, my JID would be "kline@sage.thought.org/jwchat". Another thing is either howto get past this error OR how to set up at least one person to handle my JWChat page.

In short, I'm lost!

This probably needs to be /usr/local/www/data/jwchat/.htaccess

I have instead of "SITENAME", my domain. So in your case:

servers_allowed:['sage.thought.org']

After that you should be able to see jwchat in http://sage.thought.org/jwchat/

This is in apache/httpd.conf:
[code]

AllowOverride All

[/code]
Following is /usr/local/www/jwchat.htaccess:
[code]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule http-poll/ http://sage.thought.org:5280/http-poll/ [P]

[/code]

And, same directory in config.js:
var SITENAME = "sage.thought.org"
var DEFAULTRESOURCE = "jwchat";

...
var BACKENDS =
[
{
name:"Native",
description:"Ejabberd's native HTTP Polling backend",
httpbase:"http-poll/",
type:"polling",
servers_allowed:[SITENAME]
},
];

I'm .LT. positive that I have the mod_rewrite stuff set up correctly. In the jwxhat port tree's README it mwntions a "RewriteRule"that I assume should be iin the apache httpd.conf or .htacess file:

RewriteRule http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/ [P]

But since 127.1 is "localhost", I don't see how this would work either.

Anyway, that's it. I hope that something jumps out at you!

As far as I can tell (from looking in httpd.conf, the mod_rewrite[.o]
is both added and loaded. --There were lines involving the proxy server that I uncommented. I reinitialized everything, but no luck.

Is there any way of tracing this? or posting part of my config files?

404 err

kline — Wed, 10 May 2006 22:22:25 +0000

For the past couple hours I've been unable to figure out why things are
failing. The necessary modules are in httpd.conf so things should be getting rewritten, but I keep getting "Not found" when I point to the chat URL. Ideas? In the jwchat port README are several lines of apache directives that I didn't add.

%<----------

  ServerName jabber.example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/jwchat
  
    Options  +Indexes +Multiviews
  
  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/ [P]

%<----------

What am I doing wrong?

No, if you have put jwchat into /usr/local/www/data/jwchat/ it will be available on something like http://example.org/jwchat/ depending on your Apache configuration.

Appreciate the examples. I've replaced "sage.thought.org:5280" for the host:PORT name. Yes?/no? I've edited the *.cfg file in /usr/local/etc/ejabberd/ directory. Things look ready for testing. The next questions are what do I need to do to reinit everything? "ejabberd_enable="YES"" is set in /etc/rc.conf. It might be easiest to reboot, but that wouldn't help me understand how things work together.
Lastly, how-to-test with my browser? Is the URL to get to jwchat:

I have this in my Apache

sander — Wed, 10 May 2006 08:05:38 +0000

I have this in my Apache configuration:

<Directory /usr/local/www/data/jwchat>
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

And in /usr/local/www/data/jwchat/.htaccess I have this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule http-poll/ http://EXAMPLE.ORG:PORT/http-poll/ [P]
</IfModule>

And in /usr/local/www/data/jwchat/config.js:

var BACKENDS =
[
                {
                        name:"Native",
                        description:"Ejabberd's native HTTP Polling backend",
                        httpbase:"http-poll/",
                        type:"polling",
                        servers_allowed:['EXAMPLE.ORG']
                },
];

Note that you do not need your own Jabber server; you also can use a public server.
