MUC support

Submitted by Dmitrij on Sun, 2005-01-16 21:26

Can somebody send me functionally configuration to MUC support?
Then i used to defaults, i can connect to MUC from my account created on this server only (@myserver.net), but i cant connect from another server (@jabber.org).

specify MUC JID

Try setting 'host' option in the mod_muc module. For example, if you have

  {mod_muc,        [{access, muc},
		    {access_create, muc},
		    {access_admin, muc_admin}]},

put this:

  {mod_muc,        [{access, muc},
		    {access_create, muc},
		    {access_admin, muc_admin},
		    {host, "conf.myserver.net"}]},

Can't conference to remote server

Submitted by sbrenneis on Fri, 2005-02-25 18:42.

I have added the remote server to DNS and tried all the combinations of mod_muc configuration. I still cannot conference to a remote server.

Example:

My server is a.b.c (ejabberd)
Foreign server is x.y.z (unknown server)

I have added conference.x.y.z to my hosts file on a.b.c. I have added {host, "conference.a.b.c"} and {host, "conference.x.y.z"} to mod_muc options on a.b.c.

User on x.y.z creates and joins testme@conference.x.y.z.
User on a.b.c attempts to join testme@conference.x.y.z, gets 404, Remote server not found.

User on a.b.c creates and joins testme@conference.a.b.c
User on x.y.z attempts to join testme@conference.a.b.c, gets 502, Remote server timed out.

Any ideas?

I have added conference.x.y.z

I have added conference.x.y.z to my hosts file on a.b.c.

Some people say that this is important, but I never did this and everything has worked for me.

I have added {host, "conference.a.b.c"}

This option is to specify a name for your local conference service, so it has no relation with the current problem, I think.

and {host, "conference.x.y.z"} to mod_muc options on a.b.c.

This is nonsense.

Try other things:

On a.b.c: can you browse/discover other servers, for example jabber.ru (uses ejabberd) and seunet.org (uses jabberd1)?
If you can browse those servers, can you use their conference service (view list of rooms, enter one, create one...)?
On x.y.z: can you browse/discover a.b.c?
If yes, can you add an a.b.c user on your x.y.z account and chat with him?

More conference

I cannot browse outside our firewall, so I can't see jabber.ru.

From a.b.c, I can discover x.y.z, but I get "Error getting items: Unrecoverable Error (Item Not Found). This is using tkabber. I do not know for sure what type of server is x.y.z. I think it is possibly jabberd 2. It identifies itself in discover as "Jabber IM server."

From x.y.z, using tkabber, I can discover a.b.c and I can see conference.a.b.c, but when I double-click that item in tkabber, I get "Error getting info: Temporary Error (Remote Server Timeout)"

Chat from users on either system to either system works fine. Only conferencing from system to system does not work.

Add conference.myserver.net to DNS.
