All of a sudden, Gaim doesn’t want to let me logon to Yahoo IM. The Yahoo Web Messenger doesn’t work, either (either it, or the Java plugin, causes Firefox to crash; and if I run it in IE, it doesn’t connect). Anyone know why?
I’m waiting for the Yahoo IM interoperability for Sametime 7.5 to be released…
Try upgrading? my MSN messenger plugin was crashiong gaim and an upgrade solved that. Of course, I am running Gaim2 so maybe I have a different issue
I’m also running Gaim2 – I’m just grabbing the latest to make sure it’s not backlevel, but since I only installed it last week I thought it would be OK.
Nope. Just upgraded to beta3.1, and it still won’t connect.
This is all I see in the debug log:
(10:26:39) connection: Connecting. gc = 01964FA0
(10:26:39) dns: DNS Lookup for: scs.msg.yahoo.com
(10:26:39) proxy: Connecting to scs.msg.yahoo.com:5050 with no proxy
(10:26:39) proxy: Connect would have blocked.
(10:26:39) proxy: Connected.
(10:26:39) yahoo: Only wrote -1 of 36 bytes!
It just sits there in “Connecting” status. Oh well 🙁
Hmm. MSN isn’t working, either. “Writing error” from the gateway.
i hate this

I am still login yahoo messenger when I log off. What is the solution for this problem?
Hi, I’m afraid I’ve got no idea how to solve your Yahoo problem. It seems OK for me, as long as I use the official client.
Im working in an Internet Cafe. We have 30 units running & Why is it we cant login to Yahoo Msgr? What seems to be the problem?…. We already uninstall it & after that reinstall the YM…
Don’t know – did you check the log?
Firewall problem? I’ve really got no idea.
I just can’t connect to my Yahoo Messenger.
I tried with the version 5 and everything runs perfect. Why is this f..cking version 8 not working ? And of course no website to inform the Yahoo customers of the reason why.
i’ve got the same problem, and isnt the first time when happens, last times the problem solved by itself. i those cases i use PIDGIN, this works fine. i’ll wait till next reboot when maybe YM will repair by itself:)

Sorry but this original post was four years ago and I’m unlikely to be able to help you debug a current issue. Closing comments on this post.
I recommend that you use an official support channel for Yahoo! Messenger or the client that you are using to attempt to connect. Good luck.
