• UDNS - asynchronous DNS resolver library http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/udns.html

Optional packages:

• GNU Libidn (0.3.0 or higher) - needed for JID canonicalisation http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/
• OpenSSL (0.9.6b or higher) - needed for SSL/TLS support http://www.openssl.org/news/

• PostgresSQL (8.0 or higher; development libraries and headers) http://www.postgresql.org/
• MySQL (5.0 or higher; development libraries and headers) http://www.mysql.com/
• PAM http://www.linux-pam.org/ (for Linux)
• SQLite (3.0 or higher) http://www.sqlite.org/

Build:

% ./configure % make % make install

Options to ./configure:

--prefix=/path/to/install Where to install everything

--enable-idn (default: enabled) Compile with IDN (Stringprep) support

--enable-ssl (default: enabled) Compile with SSL/TLS support

--enable-mysql (default: enabled) Compile MySQL auth/reg/storage support

--enable-pgsql (default: disabled) Compile PostgreSQL auth/reg/storage support

--enable-db (default: disabled) Compile Berkeley DB auth/reg/storage support

--enable-sqlite (default: disabled) Compile SQLite storage support

--enable-ldap (default: disabled) Compile OpenLDAP auth/reg support

--enable-pam (default: disabled) Compile PAM auth/reg support

--enable-pipe (default: disabled) Compile pipe auth/reg support

--enable-anon (default: disabled) Compile anonymous auth support

--enable-fs (default: disabled) Compile filesystem storage support (NOT RECOMMENDED)

--enable-mio=BACKEND Specify MIO backend to use (poll or select)

--with-extra-include-path --with-extra-library-path Add extra header/library search paths

--enable-debug (default: disabled) Output debugging info when run with -D

--enable-nad-debug (default: disabled) Compile with NAD pointer tracking

--enable-pool-debug (default: disabled) Compile with pool statistics

--enable-developer (default: disabled) Compile with full warnings and debugging symbols

Configure:

Edit $prefix/etc/(router|sm|c2s|resolver|s2s).xml to taste. In particular, make sure you setup for your choice of data storage correctly. If you're using the Berkeley DB backend, you'll need to create /var/run/jabberd and sets its permissions so that the server processes can find it.

If you're using a SQL backend, you'll need to create an account for the server to use, and create the tables. Load db-setup.mysql or db-setup.pgsql from the tools/ directory into your database to do this.

If you plan to use the jabberd wrapper script, make sure you look at the paths in the $prefix/etc/jabber/jabberd.cfg.

Run:

You can either run all of the pieces separately:

% $prefix/bin/router &
% $prefix/bin/resolver &
% $prefix/bin/s2s &
% $prefix/bin/sm &
% $prefix/bin/c2s &

Or you can run them all from the jabberd wrapper script:

% $prefix/jabberd &

All the processes can take the following switches:

-c use an alternate config file
-D output lots of debugging info (if compiled with --enable-debug)

Upgrade:

Please see UPGRADE file.

When requesting assistance, please note that the following things can provide useful information which may assist with finding your problem:

• debug logs (compile with --enable-debug and run with -D)
• running components seperately (ie without the wrapper script)
• config.log

Please try to provide as much relevant information as possible when reporting problems - it will make helping you much easier.
