4 connecting MySQL

4.1 in the MySQL create databases and users in

Create DATABASE ejabberd default character set UTF8 collate utf8_general_ci;

Grantall privileges on ejabberd.* to [email protected] ' localhost ' identified by ' ej123456 ';

4.2 Initializing the database

The Ejabberd installed via Apt-get does not have a database initialization script, and if installed manually, the MySQL script is located in ejabberd/lib/ejabberd/ Priv/sql/mysql.sql. You can also download the script directly from Https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/blob/master/sql/mysql.sql.

Import the data with the following command

Mysql-u Ej_user-p Ejabberd < Mysql.sql

This error may occur at this time:

ERROR 1214 (HY000) at line 99:the usedtable type doesn ' t support fulltext indexes

since MySQL 5.5 does not support full-text indexing, changing the table's storage engine to MyISAM resolves the problem.

4.3 Modifying a configuration file

Modify a file /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg

Notes {auth_method,internal}.

Cancel Comment {AUTH_METHOD,ODBC}.

Uncomment and modify database connection information {odbc_server, {mysql, "server", "Database", "username", "Password"}}.

Modify the module, starting at approximately 579 lines and adding _ODBC after the original module , such as:

{MOD_LAST_ODBC,

{MOD_OFFLINE_ODBC,

{MOD_PRIVACY_ODBC,

{MOD_PRIVATE_ODBC,

{MOD_PUBSUB_ODBC,

{MOD_ROSTER_ODBC,

{MOD_VCARD_ODBC,
