I am trying to set up Message archiving for my ejabberd server. I tried to add new module mod_archive following the link http://lboynton.com/2009/11/25/ejabberd-mod_archive-with-mysql-on-ubuntu/. After that i am not able to restart ejabberd server and gives me the following error in ejabberd.log
=ERROR REPORT==== 2010-11-16 12:44:41 ===
E(<0.38.0>:ejabberd_rdbms:67) : Start of supervisor ejabberd_odbc_sup_localhost failed:
{error,{shutdown,{child,undefined,ejabberd_odbc_sup_localhost,
{ejabberd_odbc_sup,start_link,["localhost"]},
transient,infinity,supervisor,
[ejabberd_odbc_sup]}}}
Thanks,
Sathi.

Answer 1

All internet tutorials about mod_archive in Ejabberd are incomplete or very caotics. Or maybe are old. So my problem is I am using Ubuntu 12.04 server LTS with Mysql. And I did all the things that are explained in all blogs.
So to install mod_archive I need to do this:
The typical:
svn co https://svn.process-one.net/ejabberd-modules
cd ejabberd-modules/mod_archive/trunk
./build.sh
cp ebin/*modules in EJABBERD
and configure /etc/ejabberd.cfg
but with this methods EJABBERD does not work.
So I discover that we need to compile other MODULE that are not explained in any site. The module is called CONN_MYSQL
And we can get in the same ejabber-modules dowloaded. So in SVN (https://svn.process-one.net/ejabberd-modules) there are
cd ejabberd-modules/mysql/trunk
./build.sh
cp ebin/*modules in EJABBERD
And work.....
I need a lot of hours to discover this.
I can not use this line configuration in ejabberd.cfg: {odbc_server, "DSN=ejabberd;UID=ejabberd;PWD=ejabberd"} because aplication crashes and says this:
=ERROR REPORT==== 2012-11-28 18:01:08 ===
E(<0.437.0>:mod_archive_odbc:867) : should_store_jid failed: {xmlelement,
"error",
[{"code","500"},
{"type",
"wait"}],
[{xmlelement,
"internal-server-error",
[{"xmlns",
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas"}],
[]}]}
So I use this line in ejabberd.cfg:
{odbc_server, {mysql, "server", "database", "username", "password"}}.
and this line into the modules configuration:
{mod_archive_odbc, [{database_type, "mysql"}, {default_auto_save, true}, {enforce_default_auto_save, true}]},
So now works!
I don't remmember if i use
trunk or branches/ejabberd-2.0.x in Emakefile . You could try one and if not works you could try the other.
Ah! and remmember to compile with
./configure --enable-odbc the ejabberd source code.
You can get this in
wget http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/ejabberd/2.1.11/ejabberd-2.1.11.tgz
maybe it is necessary this packages:
apt-get install iodbc libmyodbc

I used this one without any errors: http://www.ndl.kiev.ua/content/mod_archive_odbc-release
