First thanks for your help, and I apologize if this seems like a dumb question; I'm still getting use to Openfire source files.
We've been making small modifications to Openfire, and reconfigured the database. One of the things we decided is that we don't need need pubsub, so we took out all tables that require them, so we just return default values that are equivalent to null or 0 when the server tries to access this data from the database. And for the most part Openfire is running without any problems however, I've found that when a user tries to join a room, that admin console will show them as having joined however, Openfire will not send the presence back to the user to let them know that they've successfully joined which is a serious problem that needs to be solved. The server isn't throwing any errors, and after going through the server I've started to wonder that maybe muc rooms relies on pubsub.
Can anyone confirm wither muc rooms relies on pubsub at all, and if they do explain why, and if you're really awesome(totally optional) where it occurs?
I do know that the chat client is receiving one bit of xml back after the request to join shown below, but it doesn't show anything regarding the muc room, it may help you though.
<presence from="dashboard-agent@4qxykq1/MatriX" to="dashboard-agent@4qxykq1/MatriX"><status/><priority>0</priority></presence>
Thanks again!
