Getting ichat to talk to other servers

So, we have a functional and running private server that we use to serve ichat among other things. It's great for talking to other employees who have server accounts via ichat.
But we can't seem to communicate with people OUTSIDE of that. It's getting to the point now where we would like to be able to chat with people outside of the company who also have jabber accounts (google talk, etc).
How is this done? It seems like it should be a pretty simple thing.
Thanks!

We have our firewall off, so my assumption is that the ports are all open?
Here is a bit of stuff from the ichat log when attempting to add a gmail buddy from our ichat client account:
Sep 10 12:47:18 server jabberd/resolver[70991]: [xmpp-server.tcp.gmail.com] resolved to 74.125.155.125:5269 (1800 seconds to live)

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

How do I get iChat 3 working ? Upgrade hints:FAQ
Trouble Shooting Revisited
Ok We will start with loading Tiger and iChat version 3.0
From Panther
There are or were serveral Add-ons and applications avaiblable to Panther users of iChat that are not compatible with iChat 3.
These following need to be deleted.
iCAR - An Add-on that posts an Auto response Away message (produces a 1 fps result in a Video chat)
Virex for Panther - An Anti Virus app avialable to @mac account users (Produces the 1 fsp problem)
iChatUSBCam for Panther/iChat2.x - A Add-on utility for using iSight or USB cam with iChat2.x (Incompatible with Tiger/iChat 3)
iProfile - An Add-on for producing a profile on the AIM server that ichat 2.x could not do (not proven to be a problem but now not needed).
A clean install of Tiger (not Archive and Install) produces the best results.
But any install should also check these Tiger settings.
First, UPGRADE to 10.4.3 as this gets past many Connection issues that became apparent with the basic Tiger (10.4) and iChat 3.0 It updates iChat to version 3.1
Check Settings
Don't be complacent that you have not set anything different.
There are several new things in Tiger that may trip you up.
These are worth looking at:
Mac Firewall. Now includes the ability to Block all UDP traffic in the Advanced button (System Preferences > Sharing >Firewall tab then the Advanced Button).
Also can now open UDP protocol for ports where as the Panther one only did TCP (Check any old Panther settings you Added to the presets).
The ports should be:
TCP -5190
UDP -5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403
There are more ports for Bonjour 5297, 5298, 5353 UDP and 5298 TCP and Jabber, 5220, 5222, 5223 on TCP)
(Table View see 7th Sept)
QuickTime. This has a change in the name of the Connection Speed tab to Streaming (System Preferences > QuickTime) Check this is set to be equal to your connection speed (the download one if this is faster). See Apple Doc 301641 Dated 9th November 2005.
Date & Time. Not conclusively involved but worth eliminating. Set a Network Server and the correct Time Zone.
Apple Remote Desktop. If this is active in System Preferences > Sharing > Services tab it causes problems for iChat.
Next, test the actual speed you are getting from your ISP.
http://www.dslreports.com/stest
There is a table here of the speeds you need:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301050
The one you get linked to in the Help menu is wrong.
Other Known Problems
There are several other applications that iChat 3 does not seem to like.
folding@home This is a application that uses spare processor time to help find protein chains for a University.
PostgreSQL This is a data base application that can be reset to allow more processor time for iChat. See here http://www.murraywilliams.com/blog/archives/000046.html
Lotus Notes Some people have reported problems with this.
Make sure any Add-on Video cards or input PCI cards have up to date Firmware
IF you are still having problems I would do Routine Maintenance Tasks as laid out here.
Lastly, some routers/modems are SIP aware and give different results in iChat 3 compared to iChat 2.
This is due to the Operating System changing (like a new computer connecting to the modem) rather than iChat.
See My web pages: page4 at the SIP Text in a Box section.
Also for the above try some housekeeping particularly if you do not keep your Computer on 24/7 Gulliver, "kmosx3: Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance"

How can I get IChat contacts on my IMessage?

Hi, so I just got my new mac and I was very excited to start Ichatting. However, Ichat has been replaced by Imessage. I have a few questions regarding this. Is there a way for me to unistall imessage and get Ichat instead? If not, then how can I add IChat contacts to my Imessage. My sister is at university and she has IChat and I have IMessage and it wont let me message her because it says she is not signed up for IMessage. How can I make my Imessages connect to her Ichat?

As Niel said, if it's a first generation iPad, you cannot update it past iOS 5.1.1.
But if Facebook still offers their old app for that old iOS, here is how to get it:

Can't get iChat to stop speaking IM text

Before Leopard I was able to get iChat to announce when I received a message, i.e., "You have a message from <Buddy's name>". I don't have " Voiceover turned on, but if I check the alerts in iChat to announce when I get an IM, it actually speaks the text. Very annoying. Any idea how to just get a message announcement? Thanks.

Ok.
What you probably have then is a .plist - that holds the info - made when you had iChat 3 that is conflicting slightly with the iChat 4 info.
AS you have turned the Setting Off has it changed the action when you turn it On again ?
The .plist this is held in is com.apple.ichat.plist and this is held in /Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences which you will have to go to manually as Spotlight does not search here.
Apple seem to have hidden away the actual bit that does the Speaking which is probably based on a text file and an AppleScript.
iChat 3 kept the text in the .plist to some extent as you could change it (or it referred to the default)
Now TextEdit can be made to Open the .plist with the Finder's Open With option but in Tiger and Leopard this tends to be mostly unreadable.
Quick Look can be used to look at the .plist and it is full of < bits and > bits with comments in them and subsequent closing statements.
Editing would be best and this can be done if you have Installed Developers Tools as an option from your Install Disk.
The reason for the delay is that you can delete com.apple.ichat.plist but it will also lose every other setting you have made in the iChat Preferences...

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
...and change the relevant URLs to...
http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
If you have inbound links on other sites...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Inbound-Link.html
... remember to inform the webmasters of you new URL.

Getting iChat AV 3 back for iMac

Bear with me, I'm pretty new to macs.
I recently accidentally deleted iChat, much like I have read that someone else had. (post titled: "get ichat back")
However, the instructions there did not show how to re-install iChat if you did NOT have a tiger "update" disk.
My iMac came with Tiger already installed... and my so-called "Max OS install disc" doesn't do squat. The iMac just spits it out after a little bit.
I have tried DLing the update... and ended up with the same results as that other guy. I have also meticulously followed the instructions given to him involving Pacifist. Alas, no success. I'm stuck with AOL IM... which is driving me nuts. How do I get my iChat back?

I had already tried that. First of all... my "OSX Install disc 1" never loads. (it tries to for about 3 tries and then spits it out... regardless of what program I have running)
Second, I have tried opening Pacifist in several different ways (like while the OSX disc is loading, before, even AFTER it's been spit out) and the "open Mac OSX Install Packages is always greyed out.
I just know I'm missing something simple...
Sincerely,
THOMJOHN

Can you use ichat to talk to friends on facebook?

i guess my subject says it all, but anyway: can i use ichat to talk to friends who are online on facebook? i would like to be able to not have to be on facebook to talk to friends. thanks!
also--> would this involve having to download certain software? or is it possible to do it without extra stuff?
thanks again

The option has been given to developers by facebook to make it work through jabber. However, as of yet nothing has materialised. Keep your eyes open for it... this may be the year!

Getting apache to talk to Tomcat

I am trying to get apache to talk to tomcat and when I am compiling the mod_jk.so (Jakarta connectors kit) i am getting a few errors when i run make. I was hoping you can point me in the right direction to get the mod_jk.so binaries so that i can get apache to serve my JSP's. I already tried to uncomment the line in the httpd.conf to include tomcat and renamed the server.xml file. So at this point I am a little stuck.
Here are the make errors:
# make
Making all in common
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/apache/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk-1.2.6-src/jk/native/common'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

If i am going about this in the wrong way and this is already configured, can you tell me what you did to get it to work.
Thanks,
Brian

Here is the solution:
Use this fix to correct the build problems:
1.http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=21555&messageID=67120
2. make sure you have $JAVA_HOME in your .profile (or other login profile file)
3. re-compile apache,
4. install tomcat fresh with the axps switch
5. compile and install the tomcat connectors
6. modify your httpd.conf file, add the LoadModule lines right before section 2: (here they are)
LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
AddModule mod_jk.c
7. right before section 3 of the httpd.conf add the JMount switches (this will serv JSP's from the website root dir)
JkWorkersFile "/usr/local/apache/conf/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "logs/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /*.jsp default
JkMount /examples/* default
8. modify the server.xml file at the bottom (between the </Host> and </Engine> tag)below is the example :
</Host>
<Host name="www.yourdomain.com" debug="0"
appBase="/usr/local/apache/htdocs" >
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
9. after you test it add in any custom directory configs you want. make sure that you edit the server.xml and httpd.conf to chage the documentroot of each.
10. done
