Status SME9: IN PROGRESS

HOWTO

The contrib is holding at http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/smeserver-IM/ For history it is 'inspired' (copied) from ipasserelle-im, itself inspired from smeserver-ejabberd. The contrib is called smeserver-IM but the name can change.

the source of work is here https://github.com/stephdl/smeserver-IM/tree/sme9_ejabberd_alone

in order to install (adjust name if needed). Normally you don't care if your server is 64 or 32 bit

wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/smeserver-IM/smeserver-IM-0.2.16-2.el6.sme.noarch.rpm
yum install smeserver-IM-0.2.16-2.el6.sme.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=epel,fws -y
config setprop ejabberd WebAdmin enabled access public status enabled
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

at the reboot you have these db available settings and a panel in the server-manager

# config show ejabberd 
ejabberd=service
   Archives=disabled
   DbName=ejabberd
   DbPassword=hbwQ3bEBuCdxYAvV1vmsLYqtCPcR3+97D5p4swnf5Bt992I014BqqSTXcxNDP+Fzaq1SXfJyNhmcZbGX
   DbUser=ejabberd
   Domain=mycompany.fr
   HTTPBind=enabled
   LogChat=disabled
   TCPPorts=5222,5223,5269
   WebAdmin=enabled
   WelcomeSubject=
   WelcomeText=
   access=public
   status=enabled

The admin page is reachable at im.your_sme_domain.xx/admin Here for example it will be im.mycompany.fr/admin

the login : admin@mycompany.fr (use the value of Domain)

password : your admin password

either you use your sme in server and gateway and you don't have to trick your dns server, or you have to adjust your dns server (generally in your router) to translate 'im.mycompany.fr' to the IP of your server which host the contribs.

in anyway if you do

# dig any im.mycompany.fr

you should see something which gives the IP of your server

Drafts_TODO

• a link to the admin page directly in the server-manager
• see what is better, either do a reverse proxy (https://im.host.xx/admin) like now or use a port redirection (https://ip:5280/admin)to reach the ejabberd_webadmin
• see if needed to remove all traces of the rpm once removed (db settings, mysql DB....)
• more db setting directly in the panel of server-manager, it was like that the panel setting of the olde contribs was done

   WelcomeSubject=
   WelcomeText=
   WebAdmin=enabled
   ...

• Actually the contribs is translated in french and english, need more languages
