Joining a chat room that is on a different server?

Alan_Vinh · March 14, 2006, 10:34pm

If I log into server A (running wildfire), I can join the chat rooms on server A. While still logged into server A, can I open a chat room that is on server B (also running wildfire) and participate in the chat room from server B (i.e. joining chat rooms on a different server than the one I’'m logged into)?

If possible, how do you go about doing this?

Thanks.

Hi,

may one assume that server A is connected to server B using s2s?

You should have no problems to do this, just join the conference room or send an invitation to the other user.

Hi,

In my admin screen for the wildfire server, I have both of my wildfire servers (version 2.5.0) on each other’'s “white list” using the default port 5269.

The conference service on each machine is “conference.<server.domain.name>”. Using the Spark client (version 1.1.1), in the “conference” tab, I tried to “Add Conference Service” using “conference.myserver.at.mydomain” (format) by clicking on the “+” button (i.e. the conference service that is on the other machine) and it pops up a window saying “Service could not be located”.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks - Alan

Help please?

Hi Alan,

did you set up DNS records? You should be able to resolve jabber.org and conference.jabber.org if jabber.org is your domain name.

I’‘m on a local LAN with our own DNS server behind a firewall. Those 2 machines can definitely find each other using their domain names, i.e. without the “conference.” word in front of it. I can get to the admin pages for both machines using their domain names. If I log into each machine individually, I can join its chat rooms but I can’‘t join the chat rooms on the other machine - this is my problem. From what I’‘ve read in the archives, the s2s connectivity should allow me to join the chat room on the other “white listed” machine but I can’'t seem to get it to work hence my frustration…

Thanks for your replies - Alan

Maybe I misunderstood your post. If my server’‘s domain name is “alan.at.work” with IP 123.20.30.40, are you saying that I need to have an entry for “conference.alan.at.work” to point to the SAME IP address of 123.20.30.40 in my “hosts” file? One server is on a Linux box, the other is on my PC running Windows XP - we’‘re running some connectivity tests for a project that I’'m working on…

Hi Alan,

back to the jabber.org example:

nslookup jabber.org

Address: 208.245.212.98

nslookup conference.jabber.org

Address: 208.245.212.98

So you need this, but as a DNS entry or in the hosts file of every client (not sure about this), this may be too much hosts files you need to edit.

Hi Alan,

back to the jabber.org example:

nslookup jabber.org

Address: 208.245.212.98

nslookup conference.jabber.org

Address: 208.245.212.98

So you need this, but as a DNS entry or in the hosts

file of every client (not sure about this), this may

be too much hosts files you need to edit.

LG

I tried your suggestion, I’‘ve added the domain names to the hosts file for both machines (I only have to worry about 2 for testing purposes) with the “conference.” string in front of the domain names then tried adding the new domain name to the “Conference Service” window in Spark and it still doesn’'t like it.

I tried adding just the domain name without the “conference.” string in front of the domain name and it was happy to prepend the “conference.” string to the domain so that in my window I now have “conference.alan.at.work” (as an example).

When I double-click or browse that service (e.g. “conference.alan.at.work”), it now comes back with a pop up window saying:

Unable to retrieve conference information. Please try back later.

In the admin console of each machine, I clicked on the “Sessions” tab then the “Server Sessions” button and both admin consoles show the Incoming and Outgoing session streams and their IDs match up correctly.

So the new question is why can’‘t I “browse” the other server’'s services (i.e. chat rooms, etc.)? Do I have to do something special in the admin console on a server so that its clients can see its services (e.g. all the chat rooms that are available in its system)?

Using the Spark IM client, you have to browse the services on a server such as the chat rooms before you can select a chat room to join.

Hi Alan,

so you see in Spark

conference.alan.local

conference.alan.at.work

and conference.alan.at.work which is remote is not working for you while the local one runs fine?

In the s2s Tab you see three connections for conference.alan.at.work, alan.at.work and search.alan.at.work ?

So I must wonder what’'s the problem, are there any errors in the log files?

Correct, on the local machine, I can browse and pick the chat rooms to join. For the remote server, I get an error window as stated in the other post if I try to browse it.

In the s2s Tab you see three connections for

conference.alan.at.work, alan.at.work and

search.alan.at.work ?

No, on both machines, they only show 1 session - i.e. the session with the remote machine. So the local machine (server1) shows a session with the remote machine (server2), while server2 shows a connection with server1. No other server sessions are shown.

So I must wonder what’'s the problem, are there any

errors in the log files?

The Spark Client has the following errors at the bottom of its error.log file:

Hi Alan,

I’'m more interested in the server log files.

Can you use the search service or does this also fail?

It seems that the s2s connection causes the problem. I see the three sessions for each server in my setup.
