Need Help on Windows Setup

I'm running Windows Server 2003 with MS SQL installed, so don't particularly want to setup MySQL or whatever other database software.

I've installed the 295-b606.exe server install from the downlaods section. I've installed the regular Java runtime, is that all that I need to install?

When I run wrapper, I get this line and then it seems to hang:
Loading plugin: vcard-temp ...

Is this supposed to hang here?

How do I configure to add logins, as I seem to be missing something here. My preferred client will be Pidgin, unless someone has a better idea?

Any help appreciated, and if anyone else reads the forums besides Kobit, then any help is appreciated from anyone!

You need JDBC driver for MS SQL database.

If you look in libs/ directory you can see jdbc-mysql.jar, jdbc-postgresql.jar and sometimes even other files. You have to find something like jdbc-mssql.jar or different JAR file with the driver for your database. Simply copy this driver to the libs/ directory.

On top of that you have to also "activate" the driver and set correct connection string for your database and your JDBC driver.

I have never used JDBC driver for MS SQL so I can give you exact example but I would suggest to look at configuration wizards page and the first example for PostgreSQL on MS Windows. The important settings are:

  • -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver - this is parameter which needs to be given to Java application and it sets JDBC driver for PostgreSQL
  • --user-db-uri "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/tigase?user=tigase" - this sets connection string for PostgreSQL database.
