Jabber Server

[KeithS]

Has anyone managed  to get an xmpp/jabber server working on their plug?

I have tried apt-get install jabber, and if I am lucky, my client will let me signup as a new user, but then gives a stream error.

I have googled for the ubuntu easy setup sites and still cant get the simplest system functional.

Thanks in advance of any help.

If you have a Java run time installed on your plug, the Openfire Server should meet your needs perfectly. http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/

Thanks for that, but I came across that yesterday. Looking elsewhere on here, I gather that  putting java on the plug is a real can of worms   

Now I cant even install jabber from apt anymore either. Seems I have broken it and get a message about not being able to find jabber.xml.

I will probably  re-install the OS before I take his further now.

As for me, I installed Ejabberd both on the Marvell Ubuntu 9.04 (on the NAND) and on Debian Squeeze (USB HDD), and it worked very fine !

Moreover, it doesn't require Java.

I know this is a bit late (just registered to this forum) and maybe more than what you want, but anyway: http://www.citadel.org is a comlete, easy to use groupware solution with builtin xmpp server. Debian has packages for it, even for ARM.

I installed an ejabberd on my sheevaplug and it works fine.
I got it from a standard apt-get install (using ubuntu 9.04)
