JWT not working on Debian 9

Install & Config
#1

I get this error in the /var/log/prosody/prosody.err file:

Apr 03 20:04:18 c2s5636f09212e0 error Traceback[c2s]: /usr/lib/prosody/modules/mod_posix.lua:123: bad argument #3 to ‘format’ (string expected, got nil)

I installed prosody-trunk_1nightly747-1 and the Rest from the current stable branch

In the jvb.log I receive this Error:

In the jicofo.log I receive this error:

Jicofo 2020-04-03 20:09:34.062 SEVERE: [54] org.jitsi.impl.protocol.xmpp.XmppProtocolProvider.doConnect().315 Failed to connect/login: No response received within reply timeout. Timeout was 15000ms (~15s). Waited for response using: StanzaIdFilter: id=9tsOD-152.

Any one has a clue?

Same issue here. If you find a solution please post it!

Hi there, I was able to get it to work by downloading another version of mod_posix.lua.
This is what I’ve done.

service prosody stop
cd /usr/lib/prosody/modules
mv mod_posix.lua mod_posix.old
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bjc/prosody/master/plugins/mod_posix.lua
service prosody start

And now it works. I hope this helps you too.
