File transfer using ejabberd

Question

I have a chat application using ejabberd2. Now, I need to transfer file over chat message. I just configure mod_proxy65 in the ejabberd.cfg file and open the port 7777. But send file failed.

myejabberd.cfg settings

{mod_proxy65,  [
                  {ip, {118,132,178,95}},
                  {name, "SOCKS5 Bytestreams"},
                  {host, "proxy.amadoa.org"}
                 ]},

Anybody know how I enable mod_proxy65 in ejabberd2? Do I need to install any additional modules here?

Help is highly appreciated. Thanks

Solution

Most people confuse host with hostname ejabberd configuration, hostname is where you should provide your public IP or www.domain.com, where host is the logical name that you give to your ejabberd server; it defaults to proxy.domain.com,

Moreover the IP address is the IP of the interface that Ejabberd listens, so, it should be local address. Llike: 192.168.1.10 to listen on one interface, or 0.0.0.0 to listen on all the interaces, or 127.0.0.1 to allow local file transfers only.

Example of configuration that worked for me:

{mod_proxy65,  [
                  {host, "proxy.domain.com"}, %% defines the Jabber ID of service. If not specified, Jabber ID will be hostname of  the virtual host with the prefix 'proxy'.

                  %%{ip, {192,168,1,90}}, %% this line works, or use the below line
                  {ip, {0,0,0,0}}, %% 127.0.0.1 by default, make it 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces, or the ip of specific interface

                  {hostname, "www.domain.com"}, % useful service run behind a NAT. default is value of ip option. Ex: "proxy.mydomain.org", "200.150.100.50"
                  {port, 7777}, %% Default, we don't need to add
                  {access, all}, %% Default, we don't need to add
                  {shaper, c2s_shaper}
                 ]},
