I stumbled across wildfire a couple of weeks ago and have been playing ever since. I managed to install wildfire with no problems at all. It has installed to /opt/wildfire.
I can log in as a user from another machine on my LAN using spark and all seems ok.
This is the first im server combination that I have tried. After some research wildfire seemed to have all the features that I required. I teach ICT at a school in the UK, we are looking to host some im so that we can support children’'s learning from home in a secure virtual environment.
I would be more than happy to try another webbased client to connect to wildfire - any other recommendations?
Wildfire 3.2 will support XEP-0124 HTTP Binding and hopefully include an AJAX client or be at least compatible with JWChat. So if you can wait 4-8 weeks you may get a web based client out-of-the-box.
Also if Jivesoftware does not deliver an AJAX client I’'m sure that one will release a patch manual to use JWChat with Wildfire.
This forum offers a web-based chat for xmpp, so if you’'d like to offer also a forum for the children you may consider to ask for an educational licence.
May I ask what you did configure within JWChat so far (config.js?) and if you see errors in the log files.
