    ejabberd is a free and open source instant messaging server written in Erlang.

    ejabberd is cross-platform, distributed, fault-tolerant, and based on open standards to achieve real-time communication.

    ejabberd is designed to be a rock-solid and feature rich XMPP server.

    ejabberd is suitable for small deployments, whether they need to be scalable or not, as well as extremely big deployments.

    3.3.6  mod_http_bind

    +

    This module implements XMPP over Bosh (formerly known as HTTP Binding) +as outlined by XEP-0206. +It extends ejabberd’s built in HTTP service with a configurable +resource at which this service will be hosted.

    To use HTTP-Binding, enable the module: +

    {modules,
+ [
+  ...
+  {mod_http_bind, []},
+  ...
+]}.
+

    and add http_bind in the HTTP service. For example: +

    {listen, 
+ [
+  ...
+  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
+                         http_bind,
+                         http_poll,
+                         web_admin
+                        ]
+  },
+  ...
+]}.
+

    With this configuration, the module will serve the requests sent to +http://example.org:5280/http-bind/ +Remember that this page is not designed to be used by web browsers, +it is used by Jabber clients that support XMPP over Bosh.

    If you want to set the service in a different URI path or use a different module, +you can configure it manually using the option request_handlers. +For example: +

    {listen, 
+ [
+  ...
+  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
+                         {request_handlers, [{["http-bind"], mod_http_bind}]},
+                         http_poll,
+                         web_admin
+                        ]
+  },
+  ...
+]}.
+

    +

    3.3.7  mod_http_fileserver

    +

    This simple module serves files from the local disk over HTTP.

    Options: +

    +docroot
    +Directory to serve the files. +
    accesslog
    +File to log accesses using an Apache-like format. +No log will be recorded if this option is not specified. +

    This example configuration will serve the files from +the local directory /var/www +in the address http://example.org:5280/pub/archive/. +To use this module you must enable it: +

    {modules,
+ [
+  ...
+  {mod_http_fileserver, [
+                         {docroot, "/var/www"}, 
+                         {accesslog, "/var/log/ejabberd/access.log"}
+                        ]
+  },
+  ...
+]}.
+

    And define it as a handler in the HTTP service: +

    {listen, 
+ [
+  ...
+  {5280, ejabberd_http, [
+                         ...
+                         {request_handlers, [
+                                             ...

    6.1.4  s2s Manager

    This module routes packets to other Jabber servers. First, it checks if an opened s2s connection from the domain of the packet’s source to the domain of the packet’s destination exists. If that is the case, the s2s manager routes the packet to the process serving this connection, otherwise a new connection is opened.

    6.3.2  Domain Load-Balancing Algorithm

    ejabberd includes an algorithm to load balance the components that are plugged on an ejabberd cluster. It means that you can plug one or several instances of the same component on each ejabberd cluster and that the traffic will be automatically distributed.

    The default distribution algorithm try to deliver to a local instance of a component. If several local instances are available, one instance is chosen randomly. If no instance is available locally, one instance is chosen randomly among the remote component instances.

    If you need a different behaviour, you can change the load balancing behaviour with the option domain_balancing. The syntax of the option is the following:

    {domain_balancing, "component.example.com", <balancing_criterium>}.

    Several balancing criteria are available:

      6.3.3  Load-Balancing Buckets

      When there is a risk of failure for a given component, domain balancing can cause service trouble. If one component is failing the service will not work correctly unless the sessions are rebalanced.

      In this case, it is best to limit the problem to the sessions handled by the failing component. This is what the domain_balancing_component_number option does, making the load balancing algorithm not dynamic, but sticky on a fix number of component instances.

      The syntax is the following: 

      {domain_balancing_component_number, "component.example.com", N}

      The Debug Console is an Erlang shell attached to an already running ejabberd server. With this Erlang shell, an experienced administrator can perform complex tasks.

      This shell gives complete control over the ejabberd server, so it is important to use it with extremely care. There are some simple and safe examples in the article Interconnecting Erlang Nodes

      To exit the shell, close the window or press the keys: control+c control+c.
