Install Ejabberd2 and configure MySQL for its database

Previously used OpenFire as a server, but OpenFire cluster support is not very good, so instead of ejabberd, because it is developed in Erlang language, its concurrency rate and distributed functions are very strong, here I record my installation and configuration process.

1. Installation is needless to say, to its official website to download the installation package. My system is Mac OS, so I only describe the installation on Mac OS. After downloading the installation package, click Install directly. After installation will be generated in the/applications directory Ejabberd directory, because I downloaded the Ejabberd-2.1.11, so the installation directory is:/applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/

2. Configure support for MySQL, open/applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/conf/ejabberd.cfg and make the following changes

A. Notes

Internal}.

After the comment is

%%{auth_method, internal}.

B. Uncomment the sentence

{Auth_method, ODBC}.

C. Creating a Database Ejabberd

D. Create the table, if your MySQL is 5.5.3 before, then edit Mysql.sql, set Table_type=innodb, change to set Default_storage_engine=innodb;

Mysql.sql

D. Configuring MySQL

Server:%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "localhost", "Ejabberd", "root", "Mysqlpassword"}}.

E. Configuring the module, plus 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. Turn on Ejabberd,

cd/applications/ejabberd-2.1.11/lib./Start
