DNS Issues

al — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:55:55 +0000

We experienced some DNS issues this morning which meant that users were unable to contact other off-site Jabber/XMPP contacts. This has now been resolved and should be working.

Server downtime

al — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:30:18 +0000

I’m afraid the server died early Sunday morning and attempts to get it working did not succeed. The machine has been rebuild and Jabber services have been resumed. Configuration has been restored and no data should have been lost.

ICQ Transport updated

al — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:45:42 +0000

The ICQ Transport has been updated to 0.8.1.2 which seems to be a bit more reliable on connection stability.

Service restarted

Ejabberd crashed at some point around 1am GMT last night and it’s not been restarted along with the transports.

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.

MSN issues

al — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:45:35 +0000

It seems that the MSN Transport seems to have stopped working down to a client version bug. It’s been fixed and you should be able to run it again.

Last chance to migrate your account…

al — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:04:12 +0000

As of August 15th it will be six months since we migrated to ejabberd. On or after the 16th we will be opening up the jabber.org.uk domain for new registrations and you will no longer be able to migrate pre-ejabberd accounts. So if you have an account to keep please do so now.

The xmpp.org.uk domain will remain open for free registrations as it’s always been.

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 & Port 443

al — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:18:14 +0000

The Jabber service decided to enter some limbo state this morning and so I restarted it. I had a couple of reports of port 443 (SSL) not working and so restarted that also. All should be working once again.
