[JDEV] Groupchat with 1.2 problems continue

[Malone, Pat]

Ok,
I tried renaming my service to groupchat.co.lsil.com (including the DNS work
- just an alias pointing to the same IP as jabber.co.lsil.com)
and still have problems.  Here are the entrys in jabber.xml...
   <agent jid="groupchat.co.lsil.com">
          <name>Group Conferencing</name>
          <description>You can create and participate in private
chatrooms.</description>
          <service>conferencing</service>
          <groupchat/>
          <register/>
        </agent>
  
<!-- Groupchat service -->
  </service>
   <service id="conference">
   <load><groupchat>./groupchat.so</groupchat></load>
  </service>

This was returning with the message "Could not contact this agent. It is
possible the agent is not operating"
after a minute or two.  Debug logs seem to indicate jabber is trying to talk
with groupchat (including some nice "Dr. Pepper says" messaged in the log!)
with problems.

For grins, I added "groupchat.co.lsil.com" as a 'host' entry.  This then
returns an immediate server error 'not found'.
    <host>jabber.co.lsil.com</host>
    <host>groupchat.co.lsil.com</host>


Looking around this morning, I found the jabberd_groupchat.xml file in the
conferencing source tree that talks about a very different way to integrate
the groupchat than was explained in the 1.2 'how to' document.  Is this a
better way to implement this?

        The parent jabberd should have this configured:

        </service>
    -->
  <service id="groupchat_transport">
    <host>groupchat.co.lsil.com</host>
    <load><groupchat>groupchat.so</groupchat></load>

  </xdb>

Can someone with a working groupchat under 1.2 send me your jabber.xml?
That might give me some clues.

Thanks
