Upgrading to ejabberd 2.1

al — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:05:45 +0000

Having tested Ejabberd 2.1 I expect to be migrating over to this at some point in the near future. It’s possible I will just do this when the ejabberd process crashes, but will update this blog entry with the latest news.

This upgrade should not require you to change anything, but it is possible that you may need to re-register with transports.

[Updated 12:40 27/01/2011] Server is down, migration work is underway.

[Updated 13:15 27/01/2011] Switchover to ejabberd 2.1 has completed and you should be able to log in again now.

[Updated 13:55 27/01/2011] Server experienced a few hiccups that have been fixed. All should be right again.

Stability issues & upgrades

Service stability:
I’ve been having some issues with the stability of the server, this seems to be down to the connection between ejabberd and the database server (were user accounts are kept). I’ve been unable to resolve this problem but I have been doing my best to keep an eye on the server

Software upgrades:
The version of ejabberd & Debian I have been using have both been superseded and I have been in the process of testing both. I am currently testing both as well migration between versions and hope to be in a position to switch to updated versions soon. When this time comes I will, of course, let people know via this blog and Jabber MOTD.

Server restart

The server had to be pulled offline for some maintenance earlier. Apologies for the abrupt nature of this, but it’s working once again.

Migration Closed

al — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:41:41 +0000

Jabber.org.uk account migration has been going on for over six months and so it has now been closed. You can now register new accounts (using “Your Account” in the Links on the right) on the jabber.org.uk domain. You cannot, as yet, register in-band (within your Jabber client) – though this will be enabled soon.

Please remember as per the AUP accounts not used for six months may well be deleted.

Service restart – Updated

al — Thu, 15 May 2008 12:57:35 +0000

This jabber service will have to be restarted shortly to upgrade SSL keys as per Debian Security Advisory 1571 .

Update: Key has been updated and everything is back running again.

Service restart

al — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:50:28 +0000

The jabber daemon crashed a little while ago and has been restarted along with all the transports.

Your Account

For all those people who haven’t read it:

If you have not migrated
your account you will not be able to log in.

New accounts

al — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:26:37 +0000

We have a new domain (xmpp.org.uk) which is open for registration for new accounts. You can use your client to register, or if your client does not allow this you can use the new web based registration form The jabber.org.uk domain will be closed for registrations for the time being, but migration of your existing account will remain open.

Migration

al — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:59:31 +0000

The new server code is up and running. To be able to log in you must first migrate your existing jabber.org.uk account. This process doesn’t take too long, but we will require an email address. Please read the notes carefully. I will be on the jabber conference room tonight for a while in case of any problems.

Registrations are closed on jabber.org.uk for the time being.

Migration to new software – Thursday.

al — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 16:16:10 +0000

The migration to the new softer will be happening this Thursday at around 2pm GMT. All accounts will have to be migrated to the new system, but it should be a more reliable method for storing your login details and your rosters.
