Install ejabberd2 and configure MYSQL as its database

I have used openfire as a server before, but the openfire cluster does not support very well, so I switched to ejabberd. Since it was developed using the Erlang language, its concurrency and distributed functions are both powerful, here I will record my installation and configuration processes.

1. Install the installation package on its official website. My system is Mac OS, so I only want to install it on Mac OS. After downloading the installation package, click Install. After installation, the ejabberd directory will be generated in the/applications directory, since I downloaded a Ejabberd-2.1.11, so the installation directory is:/applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/

2. The configuration supports MySQL, open/applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/CONF/ejabberd. cfg and make the following modifications

A. Notes

{auth_method, internal}.

After annotation

%%{auth_method, internal}.

B. Cancel the comment.

{auth_method, odbc}.

C. Create a database named ejabberd.

D. Create a table. If your MySQL version is earlier than 5.5.3, edit mysql. SQL and change set table_type = InnoDB; To set default_storage_engine = InnoDB;

cd /Applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/lib/ejabberd-2.1.11/priv/sqlmysql -u root -p ejabberd < mysql.sql

D. Configure MySQL

%%%% MySQL server:%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "localhost", "ejabberd", "root", "MySqlPassword"}}.

E. Add a _ ODBC

{mod_last_odbc,     []},{mod_offline_odbc,  []},{mod_privacy_odbc,  []},{mod_private_odbc,  []},{mod_pubsub_odbc,   [ % requires mod_caps ...{mod_roster_odbc,   []},{mod_vcard_odbc,    []},

3. Enable ejabberd,

cd /Applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/lib./start

Because MySQL does not have data, we register an account with the following command:

./ejabberdctl register admin mes1.com 123456

Now go to http: // localhost: 5280/admin/to login

Username: Admin

Password 123456
