Trying to make http-bind and filserver work at same time for crossdomain.xml

Submitted by robmorin2 on Tue, 2011-02-22 20:16

Hello all, my first post here, so please be gentle.

My dev guys are asking me to configure ejabberd to their specs. I am new to ejabberd and are thoroughly confused. I have it up and running with some users and such, but now the dev guys need to have a URL like
http://k1.interhub.local:5028/crossdomain.xml.
Now i did get this working by adding the following in ejabber.cfg file on our dev machine as per some posts i read.

Under Modules I uncommitted a filled out the docroot specs

{mod_http_fileserver, [            
                         {docroot, "/var/www"},
                         {accesslog, "/var/log/ejabberd/access.log"}
                        ]},

Under Listen, i uncommitted the request handlers, like so

{5280, ejabberd_http, [                     
                         {request_handlers,
                         [
                         {[], mod_http_fileserver}
                         ]},
                         captcha,               
                         http_bind,                 
                         http_poll,
                         web_admin
                        ]}  

 ]}.

Restarted and all worked great! I was able to go to the URL with no problems...
http://k1.interhub.local:5280/crossdomain.xml

But then i was not able to access the URL. i just got a "Not FOund"
http://k1.interhub.local:5280/http-bind

Now i search quite a bit and found a few iterations about this , but i am now more confused than before, as i do not have the time to thoughtfully read up on all the docs for ejabber... as the dev guys have given me a deadline to get this working...

Now i read that one can use regular Apache for the crossdomain url, but my dev guy says the code he uses(some flash thing) must go to http://k1.interhub.local:5280/crossdomain.xml rather than just
http://k1.interhub.local/crossdomain.xml

So in essence is there a way to get both of these working even if i have to use Apache for the crossdomain file as i already have apace on the server for other uses...

Please HELP.

Thanks to all and have a great rest of the day!

I found three

I found three alternatives:

1.

The obvious solution is to place each service in a different port, like

  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
                         {request_handlers, [
                           {[], mod_http_fileserver}
                         ]}
                        ]},

  {5281, ejabberd_http, [
                         http_bind
                        ]}

That allows you:
http://localhost:5280/crossdomain.xml
http://localhost:5281/http-bind/

2.
In the past, it seems some people liked this:
http://www.ejabberd.im/flash-policy-file

3.
I found this solution today, maybe this is just what you wanted:
Configure like this:

  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
                         {request_handlers, [
                           {["crossdomain.xml"], mod_http_fileserver}
                         ]},
                         http_bind
                        ]},

I think that allows you:
http://localhost:5280/crossdomain.xml
http://localhost:5280/http-bind/

Please give a detailed steps for configuring ejabberd 2.1.8 version in order to load crossdomain.xml file. And where should I keep the crossdomain.xml file.
