Forum OpenACS Development: Complete Jabber Package for Openacs

Posted by Bjoern Kiesbye on 04/16/03 09:08 PM

In the file storage you find an apm (Complet Jabber package jabber-0.3a.apm) , including everything you need to let the Jabber Package work , including all c-sources (Read the file discription ).
Read the file description and the package documentation for installation support.

Happy Eastern.

Bjorn,

We just installed Jabber. Here's the error message I get when trying to access. What did we miss?

Do we understand it correctly we will have to recompile AOL server? Because that will mean our Virtual Hosting set-up will be be messed up or is there an alternative?
Thanks

AFAIR you only need to compile the jabber module from the same sources you compiled the AOLserver from. And then copy it over to your aolserver bin directory.

In the jabber/sql dir I only see an Oracle dir.

In the jabber/sql dir, only an "Oracle" dir is present.

I'm working on porting it to postgres right now. . .It's getting close.

At the moment only oracle is supported.

Hi Ben,
incase that you don't have your aolserver sources anymore,
you can try to compile the nsjabber module in the aolserver instalation path (/usr/local/aolserver).
Most aolserver instalation scripts copy the needed sources, to compiele modules, into the aolserver instalation path.

That would be:
<blockquote>cp nsjabber-x.x.x.tar.gz /usr/local/aolserver
tar -xzvf nsjabber-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/aolserver/nsjabber/bin
make install
</blockquote>

Good luck.

Bjoern, I'm trying to load nsjabber into my aolserver installation but without any success. Here's the message I get in the server log (3.4.2 on RH 8.0):

[01/May/2003:12:02:43][3543.8192][-main-] Notice: modload: loading '/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsjabber.so'
[01/May/2003:12:02:43][3543.8192][-main-] Warning: modload: failed to load '/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsjabber.so': '/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsjabber.so: undefined symbol: JABBER_Dbml_Direckt'
[01/May/2003:12:02:43][3543.8192][-main-] Fatal: modload: failed to load module
'/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsjabber.so'

Any suggestions?

I uploaded a patch to fix this problem.

https://openacs.org/storage/download/nsjabber-patch-1.tar.gz?version_id=97881

Tomorrow I will uploaed a new JabberApplet (java 1.1 compliant) that will suport Conferencing.

Posted by Neophytos Demetriou on 05/08/03 02:08 PM

Bjoern, thank you very much. The patch works fine. I'm still having some trouble with my installation but that's due to the experiments I've been doing -- the package looks great. Thank you very much for releasing it.

The default jabber applet works for conferencing (I'm talking about some other jabber installation I have where's there's no connection with aolserver). All I had to do is use conferencing V2 rather than 0.4.

13: Re: Complete Jabber Package for Openacs (response to 1)

Posted by Bjoern Kiesbye on 05/10/03 01:33 AM

You should stick to conferencing 0.4 (from the jabber.apm file) for now, it has some slight changes wich are needed for the jabber package work properly.
(i.e. getting real jid's as well as room jid's , and preserving of prefixes for room names, wich can only be created by the aolserver or any other admin).

I'will soon let the jabber package use conference v2 , many client's now support it , and the conference v2 server becomes useable (when I statred the development on conferencing, their was only a conf. v2 protokol draft but no server supporting it ).

Hi Bjoern,
I tried to compile the ns_jabber module but got the following error message calling make in bin directory:

madura:/usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/nsjabber/bin # make
Makefile:70: ../../include/Makefile.module: File or Directory not found
make: *** No rule to create »../../include/Makefile.module«

Any idea what goes wrong?

Greetings,
Nima

Posted by Bjoern Kiesbye on 05/07/04 04:13 PM

Hi Nima,

the Makefile.module is created when you configure Aolserver (%>./configure), it schould be in
madura:/usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/include/Makefile.module
.

If you have Aolserver already installed , you can modify the Makefile of the nsjabber module to use this instalation instead.

in a shell type:

%>emacs /usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/nsjabber/bin/Makefile

Then replace the value of the NSHOME variable at the top of the Makefile, with the path to your Aolserver instalation.

repalce: NSHOME="../../"
with: NSHOME="/path/to/your/aolserver/instalation"
examp. NSHOME="/usr/local/aolserver"

Now save the Makfile (ctrl-x ctrl-f) , and try to run make as you did befor.

Good luck,
Bjoern
