9 Just over a week ago, Google released Google Plus for its Google Apps
10
11 users (see Google's post
12 http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/10/google-is-now-available-with-google.html[here]).
13 I won't lie that despite my hesitation about centralized social networks, I was
14 pretty excited about this. I've been receiving invitations from all of my
15 friends on my old non-apps GMail account for some time now, so I was eager to
16 move them on over to my Google Apps account.

18 [[enter-google-plus]]
19 Enter Google Plus
20 -----------------

22 As soon as it was enabled for my account, I went straight to the control panel
23 to turn it on. I was met with an unfortunate message indicating that I needed
24 Google Chat enabled to use Google Plus (it was disabled because I run my own
25 Jabber server on bitnode.net and not on a subdomain). My thought was "I'll just
26 enable it for a little while and then turn it back off once I've had my fun"...
27 so off I went.

29 Oops

31 As it turns out, when you try to turn off Google Chat, it just won't go. I
32 need to clarify here before going on. When I say turn off, I mean you disable
33 Chat and uninstall it. When I say "it just won't go" I mean, it doesn't show up
34 in your control panel as either installed or enabled, but when your Jabber
35 server tries to connect to the Google Chat servers to check for the statuses of
36 all of your friends, you receive the following error:

43 I have Googled around, and even used Bing to see if there is a workaround for
44 this. Sadly, all I have found are people having the same issues. My guess (or
45 perhaps just a hope) is this is just a bug caused by the introduction of Plus
46 to Google Apps since everything seems to work fine with no errors when you
47 disable Chat. Time will tell. My Google Plus and Google Talk have been disabled
48 since October 28 and still no change sadly. Here are most of the resources I
49 have found referencing this issue.
