|
|
This option is enabled by using:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
instead of the previous host directive.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
roster of every users on the server.
|
|
Shared roster are enabled by adding:
|
|
|
|
{mod_shared_roster, []}
|
|
|
|
at the end of your module list in your ejabberd.cfg file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL (ODBC) support
|
|
|
|
This feature is experimental and not yet properly documented. This
|
|
feature is released for testing purpose.
|
|
|
|
You need to have Erlang/OTP R10 to compile with ODBC on various
|
|
flavour of *nix. You should use Erlang/OTP R10B-4, as this task
|
|
has became easier with this release. It comes already build in
|
|
Erlang/OTP Microsoft Windows binary.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL support is enabled by using the following module in
|
|
ejabberd.cfg instead of their standard counterpart:
|
|
|
|
mod_last_odbc.erl
|
|
mod_offline_odbc.erl
|
|
mod_roster_odbc.erl
|
|
|
|
The database schema is located in the src/odbc/pq.sql file.
|
|
|
|
Look at the src/ejabberd.cfg.example file for more information on
|
|
how to configure ejabberd with odbc support. You can get support
|
|
on how to configure ejabberd with a relational database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Migration from ejabberd 0.7.5
|
|
|
|
Migration is pretty straightforward as Mnesia database schema
|
|
conversions is handled automatically. Remember however that you
|
|
must backup your ejabberd database before migration.
|
|
|
|
Here are the following steps to proceed:
|
|
|
|
1. Stop your instance of ejabberd.
|
|
|
|
2. In ejabberd.cfg, define the host lists. Change the host
|
|
directive to the hosts one:
|
|
Before:
|
|
{host, "erlang-projects.org"}.
|
|
After:
|
|
{hosts, ["erlang-projects.org", "erlang-fr.org"]}.
|
|
Note that when you restart the server the existing users will be
|
|
affected to the first virtual host, so the order is important. You
|
|
should keep the previous hostname as the first virtual host.
|
|
|
|
3. Restart ejabberd.
