Installing jabber chat server

Installing  jabber  chat server module

 

 

#apt-get install jabber

 

# /etc/init.d/jabber stop

 

 

configuration files are located inside the directory /etc/jabber

 

edit the file /etc/jabber/jabber.cfg to have your hostname

 

 

JABBER_HOSTNAME (which is then passed to jabberd in the -h switch)

JABBER_HOSTNAME=chatserver.quali.com

 

 

Now we can start the server up

 

# /etc/init.d/jabber start

 

The roster lists are all maintained upon the server side, in a directory beneath /var/lib/jabber named after the servers hostname.

 

To check the logs

 

tail -f /var/log/jabber/record.log

 

 

now install the chat client on a windows PC
