A Ejabberd simple buildout

travis

Introduction

This is an excerpt of collective.xmpp.buildout which provides a full stack of Ejabberd, Plone and Ngnix. The purpose of this very basic buildout instead is to run only the Ejabberd server, and make it available as deployments.buildout.production component.

I am feeling lucky!

Lucky people read the documentation, anyway if you have a local copy of this buildout, try to run this command:

make

For the impatients

To start the buildout:

python2.7 bootstrap.py &&  ./bin/buildout

To launch Ejabberd:

./bin/ejabberd

Installation on Debian/Ubuntu/etc.

This buildout compiles Ejabberd from source and to do this, you'll need the development files of their dependencies.

This is what I needed to install on a fresh(ish) Ubuntu 12.04:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev erlang libzip2 libzip-dev libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpcre3-dev libexpat1-dev libssl-dev

FAQ

Q: How to set admin password

A: In your buildout folder, after running the buildout, you need to do the following:

./bin/ejabberdctl register admin localhost your_password

Test that you can access your ejabberd by logging to the admin interface (typically http://localhost:5280/admin).
