Hi,
We've recently installed ejabberd on ubuntu box, and we had a few problems following the documentation. Which is not to say it's bad, just that it confused us a little.
So we created the how-to about what we did.
I was hoping it might be of use on the Tutorials page, although I'm not sure how to submit it for that page.
In any event - thanks for all the ejabber goodness. Any comments most welcome.
Thanks for reporting. I've
Thanks for reporting. I've added a link in the Tutorials main page, with the title: Installing ejabberd with APT on Debian / Ubuntu.
There are two confusing parts in the tutorial:
%% This stops “in band” account registration by any existing user
{access, register, [{deny, all}]}.
We also changed starttls to starttls_required in the following stanza, to (hopefully) prevent non ssl/tls enabled connections:
There isn't clear differentiation betwen the verbatim config option ACCESS and the next paragraph 'We are'.
% Ordinary client-2-server service
[{5222, ejabberd_c2s, [{access, c2s},
{max_stanza_size, 65536},
starttls_required, {certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"},
{shaper, c2s_shaper}]},
The [{... option must be used like this:
{listen, [ {5222, ejabberd_c2s, [{access, c2s}, {max_stanza_size, 65536}, starttls_required, {certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"}, {shaper, c2s_shaper}]}, ... ]}.However, as you show it, some newbie may think that he can simply paste your option in ejabberd.cfg.
Hi, I'd love to take a look
Hi, I'd love to take a look at your tutorial but the link doesn't seem to go to it anymore. Let me know if you put it back up.
