[jadmin] Conference setup docs

[Wilfried Maschtera]

>From my experience:

- make sure that all pid files are deleted before 
  restarting jabber.
- check whether in router.xml 
  <alias name='id of your server' is active.
  "id of your server" is in sm.xml and should also be
  the realm in c2s.xml. If yes
  router will fail. You can see it if you start the
  components with -D. The router complains, that
  "id of your server" is already aliased. This sounds 
  strange but I suppose there is no other way to xfer
  the clients input to a chat room to mu-conference.
- the host name in mu-...xml must not be the same as the
  "id of your server". Choose a different one (dsn
  resolveable, in your case pointing to the "id of your
  server") and insert an alias in router.xml.
  E.g
  mu-c...xml:
  <name>anyname</name>
  <host>name_of_conference_server</host>

  route.xmxl:
  <alias name=' me_of_conference_server' target='anyname'/>

Kind regards, Wilfried Maschtera
