Fw: [JDEV] switching from conference room messages to direct chat messages

Thu Oct 24 11:52:43 CDT 2002

Hello,

  If you are sending a message directly between two users, using their
  real jids, then this will never touch the conference service at all,
  unless the system is misconfigured.

  Suggestion. Try running the jabberd process with the -D option, to
  grab the debug logs. This will output to standard output everything
  that the server is doing and might explain whats going on - i'd also
  redirect the output to a file, and use Control-C when you've gathered
  enough information to look through. The command would look something
  like: jabberd/jabberd -c jabber.xml -D >& logfile

Regards,

  David
