How to let users register without inband registration but over a website?

[Daniel Cremer]

Hello Group,

I want users to register to my prosody server not inband but from a web
page. I read some things about "mod_http", "mod_bosh", "mod_httpserver" and
"mod_register_web".

I managed to open the ports 5280/5281, but I can't access them with a
webbrowser, I simply get a "not found" message.

What I need is some kind of tutorial or documentation especially to do this.

I think it must be something like:
http://xmpp.example.org:5280/admin
for Admin Access when using "mod_admin_web" and
http://xmpp.example.org:5280/register_web
to register a new account with use of "mod_register_web".

Maybe there is a big misunderstanding on my side, but it would be really
nice, if someone could help me to understand the problem.

Thank you,
Daniel

What version of Prosody are you using? The HTTP configuration has
changed significantly between 0.8 and 0.9.

All the documentation you need should be at:

https://code.google.com/p/prosody-modules/wiki/mod_register_web

If you have unexpected problems, first check your logs! If you still
can't figure it out, post your config here and perhaps we can see
what's wrong.

If you post us some details about your setup we'll certainly be able
help you more if necessary.

Regards,
Matthew
