At least right now it seems to be working fine again. The problem was with ejabberd, and I used much time trying to fix the transport. In the end I hade tried two different servers (to try a different ip if mine was banned) and in the end only restart ejabberd was left. After doing this everything worked again.
Hope it lasts! 🙂
And, I am very sorry that it took so long before I resolved this but my life and work is more demanding these days .. :/
The last days we have had some problems with the MSN transport. For some reason messages does not arrive when talking to contacts. I do not know what is causing these problems, but it might be a change in the MSN protocol by Microsoft.
I will do what I can to fix this problem, but you might want to use Gaim in the mean time.
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.
I am having strange disconnect issues on my ICQ and AIM transports the last days. Does anyone else have problems with these, or is it just me?
Everything should be working now for iChat, please report!
Hope everything else works like it should. 🙂
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.
We have for a while been waiting to adopt a child from South Africa, and now we finally got the telephone and we are going for a trip. Wednesday 14th of February we are leaving, and the return is scheduled for saturday 3rd of March.
While I am gone Carl-Christian Salvesen will be the main contact if any problems should arise. He knows the server well and knows how to fix most things. You can reach him on calle@ioslo.net, or on Jabber / XMPP at calle@jabber.no.
I will be available online sometimes but I will be on the other side of the world, so I am not 100% confident. We ordered wireless access, we will see 🙂
Anyways, give me a few days to recover and set myself up again. We will be fully back in business very soon, and again, this does not affect the jabber service, transports or any other things.
This is very irritating, I have too much to do these days, but .. 🙂
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!
Now I did it again, flagging out to the SVN version of the MSN transport. I feel that there are a few issues that I cannot fix without moving to SVN.
For more details on the fixes, including avatar problems, file transfer issues and more, see the the SVN log.
