Hello all,

After getting Laconica up and running, I was left with a server that worked 
well, for the most part, but that did have a couple of troubling issues. 

When posting an update, it returns me to a blank page with this link:

     http://laconicasite/notices/new

Just that, a blank page. Not a 404 and show source in Firefox comes back blank 
as well. If I go back to the main page, the update I just posted is there. In 
my system log, I get this error:

     Undefined variable: language in /var/www/html/laconica/lib/util.php on 
line 178

Given that I get this error when I delete a post and the following page 
reloads appropriately, I looked a little further. I found this:

     PHP Fatal error:  Class 'XMPPHP_XMPP' not found in 
/var/www/html/laconica/lib/jabber.php

I thought that might have something to do with it, so I checked Decafbad's 
online installation instructions and saw references to this in the comments 
section. I had already downloaded the Google code xmpphp package and extracted 
in my lib directory, but it didn't see to help. So I followed the instructions 
to rename the file and created the symbolic link.

Even there, however, the comment doesn't help since jabber.php calls 
XHPPHP/XMPP.php rather than XMPP/XMPP.php (what the comment actually 
suggests). So I went looking for this class and found the culprit.

On line 26 of jabber.php, it says:

     class Laconica_XMPP extends XMPPHP_XMPP {

There is no such class in XMPP.php (or xmpp.php, which is the original name in 
the Google code library). Changing the line to . . . 

     class Laconica_XMPP extends XMPP {

. . . fixed the problem.  Hope this helps somebody.

Take care out there.
