[jdev] Installing/Testing Jabberd2

[Sonic98]

I already have a website that I use with a membership DB already setup. I
just switched host from a host that didn't allow SSH connection or running
your own owns to one that does allow it, unfortunately I found out this host
is just as usless as my other host because you can SSH but you can't run any
real apps like Jabber. I'm not quite ready to switch hosts again to one who
allows running chat scripts or get dedicated hosting. I'm gonna get a shell
hosting account. I just have a simple couple questions.

What is the simplest way to install Jabberd 2 if I already have a webserver
with a functioing mysql database already installed and working, and can I do
it if Jabberd2 and the DB are not on the same server?


I'm looking over the Jabberd2 Installation instructions. Some things make
sense and some don't, especially considering most of the instructions seem
to be geared toward people starting completely from scratch.
