| orodionov@gmail.com 2006-08-14, 1:13 am |
| Hello!
I am in process of migrating from my old Redhat 7.3 to Debian.
I installed jabber server using aptitude and updated xml files using my
old system as an example. Jabber with JIT server used to run on
Redhat using port 110 ( I am using it as ICQ forwarding service for my
port
limited smartphone ) When I start Jabber I get error mesage that port
110 is unavailable:
20060813T22:38:37: [alert] (-internal): io_select unable to listen on
110 [(null)]: jabberd already running or invalid interface?
I tried to use other ports below 1023, but jabber still fails.
JABBER WORKS FINE WITH DEFAULT PORT 5222
Please help
Oleg

I use Jabber as ICQ forwarding service for my smartphone. My phone
internet plan is limited to a few ports required to access email. All
of those ports below 1024

What are you trying to do?
Running Jabber (XMPP protocoll) on port 110?
Or running a Jabber-ICQ gateway on port 110?
I guess it's the first.
Have you any POP-server running on your machine in pirt 110? If so, you
can't run jabberd on that port to. In that case, uninstall the
POP-software.
If you try ejabberd, it can serve many virtual Jabber-servers on
different ports. It might work. Problems with ports under 1024 is that
they can only be opend by processes running as user root. And that is a
security risk. There are technics to go around that, but I don't know
if jabberd or ejabberd implements those.

I need to run Jabber (XMPP protocol) on port 110. ICQ gateway is
running fine on its default port 5555.
How can I make Jabber (XMPP protocol) to run as a root on 110?

Shutdown whatever POP3 server you have running on port 110.

As I said before this is not the problem with just the port 110.
Jabber doesn't run on ANY PORT BELOW 1024. I didn't have this problem
on redhat. This is some sort of "security" feature that gets in the
way in my situation.

A program must run as root to listen on any port below 1024.

Please mind your manners when asking for help. You're not allowed to whine
unless you're paying the people you're asking for help.

It's not supposed to run on any port below 1024. Don't force it. :o)

How are his manners bad? A bit of frustrated pleading is hardly bad
manners : just inadvisible as it will pump up th self importance of some
people.

| I got this resolved. I had two seperate problems. I was actually
running jabber not as a root. jabber startup script was starting up
jabber using 'jabber' user name, while I was certain that I was
actually running it as a root  )
Second problem, I did have pop3 service running.
Now I can run jabber both as a root binded to 110 or as 'jabber' user
name binded to 5222 and port forwarding on.
Thank you All!!
