The warning means Prosody got your request for the component, but the
component is not connected to Prosody, so Prosody sent back an error.

Have you configured the transport properly? It needs to have the same
secret in its config, and the port (5347), the hostname
"irc.yeusdelibad.net". I assume it's running on the same machine as
Prosody? Restart Prosody and jabber-irc, and see what you get in the
logs for both.

Hello,
I found the solution yesterday.
Infact, the gateway to irc hab a bug, so it wasn't running when I tried to connect.
Now it's solved and everything works fine.

Thank you.

I've managed to get this working on my server but it crashes from time to time.  You mentioned a bug.  Did you apply a patch of some kind or did the but just prevent the gateway from starting automatically.

Thanks

I send a bug report to the debian maintainer.
The problem was in the init script.
In /etc/init.d/jabber-irc, I just removed "-c jabber:adm" and "-- $ARGS at the start-stop-daemon function call.

Not very clean, thought.
