PyAIMt: unable to communicate with AIM users

I have setup the PyAIMt gateway, but I am uncertain if I have done it properly. The Wildfire web interface shows it under componant sessions, with the AIM logo and the log files in PyAIMt and Wildfire seem to indicate that everything is working properly, but I am unable to message or see anyone who is logged onto AIM. I also tried logging into my normal AIM account without any success.

Here is the debug log from wildfire:

2006.03.05 18:51:47 Connect Socket[addr=/127.0.0.1,port=45820,localport=5347]

2006.03.05 18:51:47 External component was registered SUCCESSFULLY with domain: aim.jabber.myserver.com

Here is the output of the PyAIMt logs:

I don’'t know what I am doing wrong, please help.

I did find this after attempting to add a contact in spark.

2006.03.05 22:42:47 Closing session due to incorrect hostname in stream header. Connection: org.jivesoftware.wildfire.net.SocketConnection@31db04 socket: Socket[addr=/192.168.1.81,port=44100,localport=5269] session: null

What does this mean?

What client? Have you registered with AIM Gateway? You have to register with it and enter your AIM account login&pass.

My apologies. I was finally able to get it working.

Two things were wrong. The first is that I was unfamiliar with registering the AIM account and password. This needed to be done using something other than Spark (I used Pandion). Once Pandion was able to register the transport I was able to switch back to Spark, which accepts AIM users being added to the contact list now. Its amazing how many times I saw in other posts that it was necassary to do this and I dismissed it thinking I had a different problem.

The second thing was Gentoo had a seperate install for xish.domish (actually called ‘‘twisted-xish’’). Once that was installed a few warnings were displayed when running PyAIMt, but the AIM transport works. I would not have found this if it wasn’'t for the errors I origionally received from attempting to connect to the transport with Pandion. This led me to experiment and update Python and Twisted. Once I had done that, I started receiving errors from PyAIMt about the xish.domish. To resolve this I installed twisted-xish (emerge twisted-xish).

Thank you for your help!
