   In order to make datasink work with XMPP compliant servers that do SASL Authentication like ejabberd or jive messenger you’ll have to patch XML::Stream. To do so please edit XML/Stream.pm and comment out line 3097 that says

   $stream .= “version=’1.0′ “;

   and change it to

   # $stream .= “version=’1.0′ “;

   Sure it is, check your browser settings. But just in case, here’s its content:

   
<config>
<server>
<connectiontype>accept</connectiontype>
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<port>5261</port>
<secret>secret</secret>
</server>
<component>
<name>datasink.localhost</name>
<connectattempts>-1</connectattempts><!-- '-1' loops forever -->
<connectsleep>5</connectsleep><!-- seconds to sleep before new connection attempt -->
</component>
<mysql>
<dbname>datasink</dbname>
<username>datasink</username>
<password>secret</password>
</mysql>
<debug>1</debug>
</config>

   Installation instructions can be found at the head of http://zeank.in-berlin.de/download/datasink. For information how to connect external components to your jabber server please refer to the documentation that came with your jabber server!

   Do you have any advise on how hard this would be to use with postgresql?

   And also, have you considered using an xml database? It seems like this is a task that would be exceptionally well served by something like the xml version of BerkeleyDB (see http://sleepycat.com/products/bdbxml.html I have no relation to them, just a toy I like to play with occasionally).

   Phani, either check if those modules are available pre-packaged for your operation system or use CPAN to install them.

   Please note that there is an alternative Implementation of this XEP called MabberMessageLogger which implements a more recent version of XEP-0136. If you’re using JWChat from CVS use this one to get message archiving working.

   Does datasink log MUC messages?

    Mike, datasink doesn’t log messages automatically. It logs whatever you forward to be logged. Thus to answer your question: Yes, it can be used to log MUC messages.
