Yahoo wont login on ubuntu 9.04 beta using pidgin

[Wanas]

I have just installed ubuntu 9.04 beta its great and really perfect but its not 100% okay, one of the things that I have met is the yahoo not working on pidgin, I have tried other protocols like msn it works great but yahoo wont login at all I have tried my other yahoo account but the same results :(.

Are you getting the "Connection Refused" notification? If so, I suspect it's Pidgin or the Yahoo! Network itself, as it does this for me on Windows XP after I upgraded to Pidgin 2.5.5.

and today I have installed kopete and I have tried yahoo and msn, yahoo didnt work but msn works great :(

can any body help me because I have get fedup from this ](*,)

This can be fixed by changing the port from 5050 to 20

Changing the port to 20 does not fix it for me.

Ok, I fixed the problem. I started a new yahoo account, found that it did connect, then opened up both edit-account gui's. In there, I found that my original account was connecting to the wrong server. I copied the information from the new account settings over and it worked like a charm. I did not need to connect to a different port.

I think sometime in the past, I changed it so I could have some sort of additional functionality.

What's the correct server? I've tried a variety of "fixes" including the port change and using the ip address instead of the DNS but I still get the "connection refused" notification. In the last two days, I've been getting this error, though it did connect briefly this morning.

just try scs.msg.yahoo.com port 5050
