Since GTalk is totally complaint with Jabber, all you need to do to make your jabber server communicate with it is enable S2S in your DJabberd configuration. Also, you might need to setup a SRV record so remote jabber servers know how to communicate back to your vhost.

Add this to your djabber.conf VHost section at the top.

Next, add the SRV records. More information can be found by following…

http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/2/docs/section05.html#5_7

Which means, you essentially add this (on BIND servers) to the domain configuration.

Check that they took by running…

I upgraded to a newer version of Symfony today (v1.0.6) and had a hell of time getting the trivial task of connecting to the database working.

I was able to obtain a connection, by doing


$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager();
$databaseManager->initialize();
$con = $databaseManager->getDatabase('propel');


but that’s not the ideal way, and not the way symfony gets the database handle.


$con = Propel::getConnection('propel');
on the otherhand throws an excpetion.

First, it was important to check that config/schema.xml is correct

All that was good. But for some reason sfPropelAutoload was not geting loaded.

If I manually included it


include './lib/symfony-1.0.7/lib/addon/propel/sfPropelAutoload.php'It was clearly listed in the autoloader.yml


it would work, but still not desirable.

The following was in my autoloader config,

but it still wouldn’t load my sfPropelAutoload class. Adding the following made it start working…

I was getting this error today on a new Symfony project. The problem was that I had defined the schema in the schema.xml file, but there was a conflicting schema.yml file that sat empty. Removing (



$unixtime = strtotime(strftime('%Y-%m-01 - 1 second',
strtotime('next month')));

First install dependencies

Now install DJabberd

Now create the SSL certificates

Create the server configuration file /etc/djabberd/server.conf

Start the server

For some reason, vim stopped recording the last position in the files I was editting. I think it is related to a recent upgrade. Regardless, adding these lines to my ~/.vimrc restored the functionality
