[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Staff Client authentication woes

[Sperr, Edwin]

Dan --

For me, I think the issue was with /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg. I was
getting errors with jabber trying to talk to localhost (even though
opensrf_core.xml wasn't telling it to) until I changed it from '{hosts,
["localhost","eg-server"]}.' to just plain ol' '{hosts, ["eg-server"]}.'
This may just be due to some back-and-forth with my particular install,
but it seems to be a potential trouble spot. 

BTW -- the instructions are an *amazing* resource.  Impossible to
imagine bringing up a system without them!

Thanks!

Ed

Ed,

Thanks for bringing this up.  I have been maintaining the Ubuntu install
page, and have made the changes concerning memcached.  When I wrote it
up originally, I was more comfortable with changing the setting manually
and starting the process manually to make sure things were in sync, but
relying on the default Ubuntu behavior is simpler and certainly
appropriate in this case.

As for the localhost issue, I am not too sure where the current
instructions went wrong.  Were you thinking of adding something along
the lines of a general warning, or actually changing specific
instructions?  Right now the instructions only use as an alternative
listening address for postgresql and ejabberd, and I know that neither
of those settings causes problems.  Then again, maybe they are just
adding needless flexibility.

AH-HA!  It was the butler in the drawing room with the memcached process
that was listening on port 11211! Just like:

http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2007-June/001214
.html

It looks like even if you manually start memcached listening on port
10101 (as the install instructions suggest), it will shift over to port
11211 the next time the system restarts.  Is it possible to get edit
access to the wiki?  I'd gladly clean this up in the Ubuntu install
instructions (along with the localhost issue).

Thanks again for all your collective help (I'm sure this won't be the
last time I ask for it...)
