[JDEV] Jabberd and RH 7.1

[Matthew Miller]

Hello all,

I recently ran into some problems using jabberd on an installation of Redhat
Linux 7.1.  I found a workaround, although some may be able to find a better
solution.

Essentially, the problem was jabberd couldn't bind to ANY ports.  The output
(when running "jabberd -h localhost"):

	io_select unable to listen on port 5222 [(null)]
	io_select unable to listen on port 5269 [(null)]

It appears the problem was the "mio" (?) code could not establish a server
socket on the machine, because it didn't have an address to bind to.  Once I
modified jabber.xml and changed:

<ip port="5222"/>
 
to

<ip port="5222">0.0.0.0</ip>

Things started functioning better (read:  once I changed all the active
"<ip/>" tags, then things worked).  Using address 0.0.0.0 allowed jabberd to
bind to all addresses on the specified ports (duh!).

Anyways, I tried poking around the code a little this morning, but didn't
have enough time to properly address what's going on.

Thanks,
