component_interface is being ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OS Release: Debian 6 Squeeze (oldstable) 
Prosody Release: 0.9 nightly build 114 (2013-03-25, f833d2188c16) 

Hello, 

i'm trying to connect to prosody from another IP using spectrum2. 

I've set everything according to the Documentation on Components and reloaded 
the config (tried to just reload via telnet and restarting the service). 
http://prosody.im/doc/components 

component_ports = { 5347 } 
component_interface = "ipv4.of.prosody.server" 

When the spectrum2 gateway couldn't connect I tried to nmap and saw that - in 
spite of setting "component_interface" - Prosody only listens on localhost:5347 
but not on eth0. 

* Is there a way for me to solve this? 
* Do I need to provide more information? 

Best regards, 
Andreas 

PS: I've tried it using a port forwarding via ssh (ssh -L/-R) between the 
servers and everything works fine.

Hi Andreas, thanks for the report.

Where in the config did you set these options? They need to be in the global 
section, above any VirtualHost/Component lines. See 
http://prosody.im/doc/configure#overview

Other than that, perhaps try upgrading to a more recent nightly (in 
sources.list, change 'stable' to 'squeeze'!).

Let us know how you get on.
