Cannot add buddy to my Roster from Pidgin

Bois · July 14, 2008, 1:54pm

I’m currently using OpenFire 3.5.2, with a setup done against Oracle database and Oracle LDAP server.

All is fine for user authentication through Pidgin 2.4.1.1-fc7 (on Fedora Core 7) and Spark (Linux)

On pidgin as on Gaim (tested on a Suse Linux) , we’re not able not add any buddy in the roster list.

The “Domain” (Pidgin) and “Server” (Gaim) are setup with the OpenFire hostname.

While checking the logs in the web console to see what happens , i see that OpenFire try to connect to a remote server, using the buddy name (added to roster), so an UnknownHostException is fired. Here are the logs :

When i’ve tested with Spark on Linux, adding my colleague in the Roster list, all works perfectly.

Any ideas?

Regards.

Even I am facing the same problem. I have openfire 3.5.2 and database is mysql 5.x. I am using a claros - web based client. I am trying to add buddies list into the jiveRoster table. After adding it I am not getting the presence information in the client. If I restart the openfire I get the presence information but I get error messages like this.
