Re: [Server-devel] XS software compatibility question
The two servers are ready to go.
I had edited idmgr.conf. I didn't know if there were other files that
needed to be updated.
I tried Fedora 8 9.
With Fedora 9, installing the jabber does not work because libexpat is a
different version. I probably could have compiled, but I'd prefer to
stay with RPMs so the server will be easier to upgrade. I did not try
idmgr.
With Fedora 8, I had SCSI drivers issues.
So we're back to Fedora 7.
I did not install xs-config. I just copied config files from a working
server and modified them for this one.
The wiki mentions some .diffs to install for the ejabberd. Can I safely
assume those directions are outdated?

OK, the jabber is working fine. The problem was that hostname was

I installed the idmgr with yum install idmgr. Are there any
configuration files I need to edit?
Take a look at /etc/idmgr.conf
It should have the FQDN for the server listed for both variables.
I did manage to crash the server after updating all packages. I could
see which one it was.
This server is running Fedora 7. If I try Fedora 8 or 9 to avoid that
incompatible package, should your packages still work?
There lie uncharted waters.
Dennis might be able to help with that answer.
I suspect that the answer is probably yes, given the limited number of
packages you are trying.
Thank you

I don't have enough information to suggest anything, just offer
condolences and vague comments :-)
From your command line info I assume that you are having problems
keeping ejabberd running, not connecting or collaborating after
starting it up.
There is a brief time during startup when ejabberd is running
but the status is returned as stopped.Other than during time,
I usually don't see ejabberd processes running while service (or
ejabberdctl) say it isn't running. This only lasts for a minute or
so.
Can you take a look at /var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log ? Usually when
ejabberd has problems starting, the error is logged cryptically
there...

The installation was perfect with the full Fedora 7 installation.
Is it possible to install all of OLPC's customizations on top of a
stock Fedora installation?
Yes. Add the XS repositories to your yum sources, and install xs-
pkgs
from there (which should pull all the right dependencies). I suspect
it will muck up a few things, such as user accts created for
processes. The kernel might also be missing those specific drivers

The config file for ejabberd is in xs-config, so you will probably
want to replace the Fedora repos with the OLPC ones, and install

Definitely not, but I bet it will be close.
Don't forget to reboot after installing xs-config, to trigger any
post-first-boot network configurations...
How else would you suggest we proceed?
Hmmm. As you aren't using AAs, you probably don't need ourcustom
kernel. So perhaps install xs-config and then review what xs-pkgs will
pull in - you'll want to install all of that except for the custom
kernel.
We have no custom kernel, our repositories simply contain a freeze of
the Fedora 7 release/update repos at a recent date. You are safe
there...
Thanks for working on this!

Re: [Server-devel] Possible Jabber Problem on Server

It is good to know that in this case, I can. I've never had any problems wiping out the database, uninstalling, and reinstalling. Without nodeps, my process was: /etc/init.d/ejabberd stop killall epmd (in case of hostname or ip address change) rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd rpm -e xs-config rpm -e xs-pkgs rpm -e ejabberd yum install ejabberd yum install xs-pkgs yum install xs-config Run the domain_config script Fix a few config files Start ejabberd with nodeps, my process will be /etc/init.d/ejabberd stop killall epmd rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd rpm -e --nodeps ejabberd yum install ejabberd Fix config files Start ejabberd I just burned the 1.63 ISO onto a CD.

After typing ./olpc-install, I was not prompted for any information. olpc-install should be triggered automatically. Something must have gone wrong during init - can you check that your image is in good condition, and attach /var/log/messages , /var/log/anaconda.log and /var/log/boot.log? cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Possible Jabber Problem on Server
John, Maybe you misinterpreted my question. I was asking if there was a way to wipe out the database and create a new one without reinstalling. Obviously reinstalling ejabberd creates a new database. Martin had suggested that we can just wipe out the database without reinstalling the package. So back to the question: Can the database be wiped out and recreated without reinstalling? Thank you Andrew Berkowitz --- I was very explicit in my instructions: 1) Remove the package. 2) Remove the database. 3) Install the package. ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
