Alright, so I wanted to use the Jabber server feature to host a private server.
I organize online megagames, which involves lots of players and occur on multiple weeks. No software like Vassal provide the necessary toolset to host this type of events online this smoothly. I heard the main legacy server often crashes and I didn’t want to risk it. So I tried setting up a Prosody server on my VPS to try and host on a private Jabber. I had this error happen everytime I pressed “Look for a game online” with the server preferences correctly set up.
I tried changing settings on my Prosody XMPP server, and even borrowing other ones to test if it came from my setup. Same crash happening.
No idea how to fix this.
Although, if anyone knows how we could safely host the same game for multiple days, it would be nice. Now that I know about the power of Vassal I can’t come back to anything else.
