Description
I have a very simple requirement where currently I am using Kraken IM Gateway on my openfire but it does allow service discovery only within openfire account and I am currently in a planning to use spectrum to add transports like Facebook and Yahoo to my gtalk account. So far I was able to install ubuntu 10.04 and spectrum. But according to the tutorial below I am still not able connect “external components” and configure spectrum on open fire.
I am not so expert but at least as per WIKI I installed spectrum properly and even tried copying the configuration through spectrum.cfg.example to a new facebook.cfg but still some points are there which I need to ask as I am hosting spectrum from my laptop through dyndns paid account.
Tutorial Link :
Doubts I have :
According to the cfg file below :
- Server = IP or Dyndns URL ?
- What is COMPONENT JID
- Component secret and port I am using as per my openfire configuration
- filetransfer_bind_address=127.0.0.1:12345 (Is it necessary to fill up)
- filetransfer_public_address=127.0.0.1:12345 (is it necessary to fill up)
- Should i keep Database location as same as defined below by default (/var/lib/spectrum/$jid/database.sqlite) ?
I am extremely sorry If i am wasting any of the programmers time over here but i am only trying to use spectrum so later on I can be a part of a support here helping newbies by troubleshooting their posted issues.
