Open config.ini.php and set an environment. For example if you want to run JAXL with your local jabber server (e.g. ejabberd) set $env = "devel" If you are running JAXL with Gtalk set $env = "prod"

Update $key array with your development and production username and passwords. For example your $key array must look something like this $key = array("prod"=>array("user"=>"myGmailUsername", "pass"=>"myGmailPassword", "host"=>"talk.google.com", "port"=>5222, "domain"=>"gmail.com" ), "devel"=>array("user"=>"admin", "pass"=>"adminPassword", "host"=>"localhost", "port"=>5222, "domain"=>"localhost" ) );

If you want to log incoming messages and statuses in MySQL, set $logDB = TRUE

Update $db array with your MySQL connection settings. For example your $key must look like: $db = array("prod"=>array("dbuser"=>"root", "dbpass"=>"password", "dbhost"=>"localhost", "dbname"=>"jaxl" ), "devel"=>array("dbuser"=>"root", "dbpass"=>"password", "dbhost"=>"localhost", "dbname"=>"jaxl" ) );

Customize eventMessage() and eventPresence() methods in jaxl.class.php to suit your application needs. By default eventMessage() sends back a message "Hi, Thanks for your message" for every message received.

Also now customize eventNewEMail() to control your gmail mails directly. See jaxl4gmail.class.php for a simple use case

Open a command line and migrate to the folder. Run: php index.php from command line and monitor the logs under /logs folder
