Jabber Server Flakey

[michele]

Hi michele,

When you say the jabber server were working during the last 3 months. Which version of ebox-jabber were you using? 1.3.9?

It would be also nice to know the version of jabberd2 installed on your system (execute apt-cache policy jabberd2).

[michele]

I'm using ebox-jabber since version 1.3.2 but i start having this problem after last update (from 1.3.9 to 1.3.10)

apt-cache policy jabberd2

jabberd2:
  Installato: 2.2.8-1ubuntu0~hardy1~ppa1
  Candidato: 2.2.8-1ubuntu0~hardy1~ppa1
  Tabella versione:
 *** 2.2.8-1ubuntu0~hardy1~ppa1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

VaineDragon, i've just installed ebox-jabber 1.2.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 with jabberd2 2.2.8-1ubuntu0~hardy1~ppa1 (as ebox normal installation does) and works out of the box, using psi 0.13-1. Can you check that the user has the account enabled ?

michele, can you check if the user has the account enabled as well ? did you try to make an /etc/init.d/ebox jabber restart ?

[michele]

My user is enabled and i already tried to restart jabber without any results.

[VaineDragon]

Yeah I know for 4 days now and umpteen installs later I still have not gotten it to work, in the c2s.log it says waiting for connection and nothing.

Try this command out and see what your's says.

sudo tail -f /var/log/jabberd2/c2s.log or sm.log then watch the log and try to connect, mine does nothing. also take a look at your daemon.log
sudo tail -f /var/daemon.log

michele, i just tried to reproduce your issue with 1.3 and works out of the box too.

can you show us your jabberd2 logs ? and your configuration, both ebox and client ?

VaineDragon, something is wrong with your eBox / your server. Everything is working here as expected ...

So how did you manage this feat, I have reinstalled this thing 15 time since yesterday, I just it got done again and I'm looking at sm.log and c2s.log says ready for connection and nothing, there is absolutely no acknowledgment I'm trying to connect at all?

I have tried 4 different users from 4 different systems and the same issues come up, nothing is happening no connection attempts. Can't connect via Domain Name, IP Address or Hostname Nada zilch neinte.Where else do I look?

Once again how did you do that with my domain name???

My solution: i changed the client (Spark) with Pidgin and now everything work as expected
Don't ask me why Spark stopped to work correctly after 1.3.10 upgrade, but with Pidgin no problems.

Yeah I know did the same changed to Pandion and all is working just fine now, In the immortal words of Paris Hilton "Like Yeah Whatever"

Hey Guys,

Just seen this thread. This may be worth a try with Spark client.( I run into this same snaffoo many moons ago when running jabberd),
When entering your user credentials in Spark client for the domain to connect to,,,use the machine name>along with the domain. In other words,like so:
eboxserver.mydomain.net
NOT;
mydomain.net
,,,
(Do NOT use server IP Address)
See if this entry works for Spark to your Ebox/Jabberd server.

Take Care,
