You must ensure that the --xmpp_component_name=[NAME] matches the Openfire Server Settings/External Components/Allowed to Connect subdomain, and that the Shared secret matches and has no whitespace 1) if you have --xmpp_component_name=foo and there is no "foo" allowed to connect while the whitelist is selected, the error you will get is: INFO: Starting client frontend on host: 127.0.0.1 port: 9876 couldn't connect to XMPP server:org.xmpp.component.ComponentException: host- unknown 2) If you try to put a more qualified domain name like foo.com in both then you get: INFO: Starting client frontend on host: 127.0.0.1 port: 9876 couldn't connect to XMPP server:org.xmpp.component.ComponentException: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: expected start tag name and not / (position: START_DOCUMENT seen </... @1:2) And 3) If there is an issue with the Shared Secret (such as whitespace in the secret) you get: INFO: Starting client frontend on host: 127.0.0.1 port: 9876 couldn't connect to XMPP server:org.xmpp.component.ComponentException: not-authorized --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group.
