How to install Jabberd2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04

Installation

To install jabberd2, in a terminal enter:

sudo apt-get install jabberd2

Configuration

A couple of XML configuration files will be used to configure jabberd2 for Berkely DB user authentication. This is a very simple form of authentication.

First, edit /etc/jabberd2/sm.xml changing:

6   localhost.localdomain

Note: Replace localhost.localdomain with the hostname, or other id, of your server.

Look like:

6   192.168.1.200

Note: 192.168.1.200 is VENUS server

Now in the section change:

 70   
 71     
 72     /usr/lib/jabberd2
 73 
 74     
 75     mysql
 76 
 ······
101     
102     
103       
104       localhost
105       3306
106 
107       
108       jabberd2
109 
110       
111       jabberd2
112       secret

Note: Replace , , with your database name, username and password

Next, edit /etc/jabberd2/c2s.xml in the section change:

125     localhost.localdomain

Look like:

125     192.168.1.200

And in the section change:

320   
321     
322     /usr/lib/jabberd2
323 
324     
325     mysql
······
372     
373     
374       
375       localhost
376       3306
377 
378       
379       jabberd2
380 
381       
382       jabberd2
383       secret

Note: Replace , , with your database name, username and password

Finally, restart jabberd2 to enable the new settings:

sudo /etc/init.d/jabberd2 restart
or
sudo service jabberd2 restart

You should now be able to connect to the server using a Jabber client.
