I use RedHat Enerprise 5.2, compiled Erlang R13B and it seems well. I also compile ejabberd 2.0.5 from source code. Make and Make install are all fine. When I try to start ejabberd, it failed.
Here is the information by useing command line:
# ejabberdctl live

It seems ejabberd count problem when parsing some strings. But I do not change the config file.
BTW, no any log files created.
Who can give me some advise on this problem? Thanks a lots.
Erlang R13B issue
I talked with johnny in the ejabberd MUC and he said it's an erlang issue. Reverting to 12B-5 should fix this problem.
For anyone interested in diving into the issue, it appears to be a problem while compiling the module-embedded-in-a-string inside of ejabberd_loglevel.erl.
Patch available
Erlang R13B and it seems well. I also compile ejabberd 2.0.5 from source code.
You can apply to ejabberd source files.
Same problem - patch not working
I had the same problem with ejabberd starting on FreeBSD 7.2 w/ erlang r13b01. I've applied the dynamic compile patch, and now I see the following error on start:
=INFO REPORT==== 28-Jun-2009::20:20:54 ===application: ejabberd
exited: {bad_return,
{{ejabberd_app,start,[normal,[]]},

"Error compiling logger (~p): ~p~n",
[error,undef]]},
{ejabberd_app,start,2},
{application_master,start_it_old,4}]}}}}
type: temporary
Any ideas?
Strange error, works for me. Try ejabberd trunk SVN
I applied the patch to ejabberd 2.0.5, then compiled and installed. It starts correctly. I use Debian unstable.
Your error message probably means that the file ejabberd_logger.beam was not found.
If you can't solve your problem in 2.0.5, you can get ejabberd trunk SVN, which includes the patch already. Maybe that one compiles and starts correctly.
No logger error now...
Tried trunk, and ejabberd starts successfully - thanks. Now, though, I get the following error:
=ERROR REPORT==== 2009-06-30 10:20:29 ===Error in process <0.1294.0> on node 'ejabberd@localhost' with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,register,[asn1_driver_owner,<0.1294.0>]},{asn1rt_driver_handler,init,2}]}
By my reckoning, this is related to LDAP (there is one of these errors for every attempted connection). It also appears as if the bug/issue is in erlang. I'm going to see about reverting my erlang to see if that helps. If anyone has seen this error before, that would be helpful, too.
Thanks!
Working now
Installed erlang r12b5, and it works. I did end up having to change my LDAP config (ldap_attrs -> ldap_uids), so I re-installed r13b1. That works, as well. I guess the above ASN1 "bug" is a red herring. Thanks for the help!
