Barmen http://www.jabber.no/?p=297 We are planning to upgrade our server with a newer version of Ubuntu, new version of ejabberd and set up a test for transports from Spectrum. Obviously we will need to have some dowtime for these changes, and the longest of these will be when we upgrade the server OS.

The hopes are that this will create more, faster and stable services for you. Pending successful tests we can provision more transport to other networks supported (in varying degree) by Spectrum, like for instance ICQ, AIM, MSN, Facebook, Twitter, Gadu-Gadu, og SIMPLE. IRC is supported directly by ejabberd, but maybe we should look at the functionality and performance on the Spectrum implementation. The best upside is that the Spectrum transport implementation should be much less resource demanding than the Python based transports we are running on now.

More information will come when we get closer to the changes, some more preparations will need to be done first.

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2007/06/02/scheduled-downtime/ We have to bring down our servers to do some software upgrades. Downtime estimated at a couple of hours.

Sorry for the inconvinience.

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2007/03/30/instability-today/ We have been experiencing some instability today, the ejabberd service has just stopper without much error message a few times. I am currently investigating this and hope to find a solution soon.

Sorry for the problems this is causing.

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2007/03/07/xmppnet-ssl-cert-installed/ Now I have installed the new SSL / TLS certificate and it seems to be working. Ejabberd uses it for c2s and s2s, I also installed it for the web page, but I need a new one for www.jabber.no, that is why there is an error message. This will be fixed very soon.

Everything should be working now for iChat, please report!

Hope everything else works like it should. :)

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2007/03/01/ssl-and-ichat/ Hello, we are now in South Africa and has gotten a lovely little boy whom is very well behaved :) I have to work on internet connections not quite like home, but we can manage.

About the SSL cert that is expired. I have tried to get GeoTrust to support us by donating a new cert for some time now with no luck. Sadly they do not reply. Now I have applied for a new cert from xmpp.net and we are just waiting for the approval. As soon as we get this we will insert the new cert. What I was not aware is that iChat does not support expired SSL certs and for now this means iChat does not work on jabber.no. Should be remedied as soon as we get the xmpp.net cert.

Sorry for the problems this is causing.

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2006/05/29/finally-a-disk-error/ Yes, I do mean it, finally! :) This is because now I know what has caused the server hangs lately. Smartd reported an “Offline_Uncorrectable” sector and the RAID on IDE disks does not respond nicely to sector errors. Now the sector has been marked dead, and the raid is synced again, plus I know which disk has caused the problems.

I am looking forward to the move of server, cause the other server has SCSI disks and they are more stable. Still there is more to do before I can migrate but it is on my roadmap. At least I feel confident that one more problem has been solved!

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2006/05/13/possible-kernel-problem-again/ I upgraded the kernel when we did the firewall change and it might be that we got a panic tonight because of this. The problem is that the screen was blank so I am uncertain just what happened. In any case I will give this kernel a second shot so we run it tonight aswell.

A warning, this might cause the server to panic again tonight, we will reboot it in the morning, you have been warned. :)

We really need to figure this one out!

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2006/05/11/changed-firewall-today/ We had some downtime this morning when we changed firewall. It took a little longer than expected because of problems with a routers arp table located in the ISP’s network. Everything should be ok now :)

Barmen http://www.jabber.no/en/2006/04/30/upgraded-to-ejabberd-111/ Because of an error in Ejabberd 1.1.0 that made anonymous TLS enabled even if it was off in the config we upgraded to Ejabberd 1.1.1. This error is not very critical but it is good to be on the version that works like it should.

For more information look here: ejabberd 1.1.1: bugfix release
