[solved] mcabber and gchat

Not sure if it's me or not.. I can't seem to connect to gchat with mcabber. Here are the options I'm using.

05-12 15:29:02  cmdhistory_lines     = [250]                                                                                                                                                      
05-12 15:29:02  escdelay             = [50]                                                                                                                                                       
05-12 15:29:02  ignore_self_presence = [1]                                                                                                                                                        
05-12 15:29:02  jid                  = [EMAIL.ADDRESS@gmail.com]

05-12 15:29:02  message_autoaway     = [Auto-away (idle)]

05-12 15:29:02  server               = [talk.google.com]                                                                                                                                          
05-12 15:29:02  ssl                  = [1]                                                                                                                                                        
05-12 15:29:02  ssl_ignore_checks    = [1]

When I startup mcabber I get this:

[15:34:55] Connecting to server: talk.google.com                                                
[15:34:55]  using port 5223                                                                     
[15:34:55]  with resource mcabber.d11357c1                                                      
[15:34:55] There was an error while connecting.

Also, I can connect with centerim and pidgin without issue. I'm only having trouble with with mcabber.

Re: [solved] mcabber and gchat

Figured it out for anyone else who needs it. These are the settings in ~/.mcabberrc:

set username = EMAIL.ADDRESS@gmail.com
set password = XXXXXXX
set server = talk.google.com
set port = 5223
set priority = 4
set ignore_self_presence = 1
set ssl = 1
set ssl_verify = 0
