As a quick post (esp since I have not been posting much lately) I recently ran into another issue with jabberd on freebsd. I say another, if you will remember a previous post concerning sasl -
http://global-security.blogspot.com/2007/08/pidgin-on-linux-w-jabberd2-on.html.
This has more to do with cleaning up some of the errors that seem to exist in the mysql schema. Specifically, if you install jabberd2 from the ports tree "/usr/ports/net-im/jabberd" and configure it to use mysql as it's storage engine, you will receive several errors in your stdout our log files (depending on your configuration). These errors are generated when a users status changes, i.e. login, logout, away etc... I have included a quick snapshot of the errors below.
Nov 26 14:48:48 secure2 jabberd/sm[1629]: mysql: sql delete failed: Table 'jabberd2.status' doesn't exist

To remediate this, simply run the following against your jabberd2 mysql database:
CREATE TABLE `status` (
`collection-owner` varchar(256),
`object-sequence` bigint,
`status` text NOT NULL,
`show` text,
`last-login` int DEFAULT '0',
`last-logout` int DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`collection-owner`));
This will get ya going, I'm not gonna go into what's wrong with the script that is included in the jabberd2 install, I think that it's pretty straight forward.
Also note, I will try to post more regularly now but it's been a hectic few weeks for me (new job, family visiting etc...)
Cheers,
JJC
