Hi holger,
As of Friday, the website of Spectrum has changed (meaning the links in the original post have become obsolete).
I actually installed Spectrum on Wednesday on my own, but the new website basically details everything needed for Spectrum 2, as Spectrum 1 is no longer maintained.
The new links are below.
Installation:
Ubuntu/Debian: http://hanzz.github.com/libtransport/documentation/installation/debian_ubuntu.ht ml
CentOS/Fedora/RHEL: http://hanzz.github.com/libtransport/documentation/installation/fedora_rhel.html
Gateway Configuration:
http://hanzz.github.com/libtransport/documentation/tutorials/gateway_mode.html
I installed Spectrum on the same server as the Openfire, was having some issues otherwise.
So for Openfire;
jid: This is the jid for the spectrum transport instance, e.g. msn.hostname.domain (msn.openfireserver.example.com).
password: External component password.
server: IP or hostname of the Openfire server (in my case 127.0.0.1).
port: External component port (default is 5275).
Scroll down until you see the database option, and for a default install choose sqlite3
[database]
Database backend type
“sqlite3”, “mysql”, “pqxx”, or “none” without database backend
type = sqlite3
You also need to change the protocol, i.e. protocol=prpl-msn
As well as the type, i.e. type=msn
The name can be anything, e.g. Spectrum MSN Transport.
I think that’s everything… Make sure you save it to the right place.
Example command would be:
cp /etc/spectrum2/transports/spectrum.cfg.example /etc/spectrum2/transports/msn.cfg
Hope that helps.
Best,
Gary Shergill
