[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Re:RE: Ejabberd and Ubuntu

[Pierre Nault]

Hello Dan,

   Still on this ejabberd thing. Let me clarify myself : the method perl
-MNet::Domain=hostfqdn -e "print hostfqdn();" returned the FQDN, that is
cobaye-TI.bib.uqam.ca (and the name resolve). When you say "change the line
to {hosts, ["localhost","your.domain.name.goes.here"]}. I interpret it like
this : {hosts, ["localhost","bib.uqam.ca"]}. Note that this is not the FQDN,
but the domain name that I enter. In that case, it worked: I register the
two new accounts like this:
"sudo ejabberdctl register evergreen bib.uqam.ca everPass" and it worked.
But after that I have problems when I start Open Ils (sudo -u opensrf
/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_all) :
it says : "OpenSRF Router already started :
!!!! Unable to connect router to jabber server cobaye-TI.bib.uqam.ca...
exitingOpenSRF Perl already started :
OpenSRF C (host=cobaye-TI.bib.uqam.ca) already started :" I restart it and
even,  still got problems with that ejabberd...

In the documentation, when configuring the ejabberd server, it said to
change the line like this : {hosts, ["localhost","eg-server"]}. Correct me,
but it is in contradiction whit what you are saying. If I use the FQDN for
the ejabberd server, I cannot register any accounts. If I use the
domain.name (like you said), I can register the new accounts...

Any ideas...

Hello Pierre,

I am glad you got ejabberd to work.  As for your current question, the best
answer I can give would be to read the "Notice (esp. if using Ubuntu
Server):"
near the top of the documentation page you linked.  The most pertinent
sentence
is the first, which state "Each place in these instructions where we use the
name 'eg-server,' we are actually using the computer's fully-qualified
domain name (or at least what the machine believes it to be)."  The official
Evergreen approved method of determining the FQDN is with:
perl -MNet::Domain=hostfqdn -e "print hostfqdn();"
but it is up to you to make sure the result actually resolves.  In many
cases
the above command will return the same result as "hostname -f", but due to
some
ambiguity involving local name resolution, sometimes it does not.

Good luck,
DW

Hello Dan,

    Thanks for the infos, ejabberd is now working and listening on the 5222
port. I have registered the two accounts and it worked. But something is not
clear : you said that I have to change the ejabberd.cfg file to something
like this :
{hosts, ["localhost","your.domain.name.goes.here"]}.
 The strong characters surprised me : correct me if I'm wrong but they
equals the result of the command "hostname -d". In the documentation (
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_evergreen_on_ubuntu_7.04
)
it said to change the line to something like this:

{hosts, ["localhost","eg-server"]}. eg-server would equals hostname -s
in that case.

Is there an error ? I'm a little bit confused with the use of hostname
in the documentation.
Just to be sure, this is what I get when I do these commands:

cobaye at cobaye-TI:~$ hostname -f
cobaye-TI.bib.uqam.ca <http://cobaye-ti.bib.uqam.ca/>

cobaye at cobaye-TI:~$ hostname -s
cobaye-TI

cobaye at cobaye-TI:~$ hostname -d
bib.uqam.ca


Thanks a lot,

Pierre Nault
