Actually, I dont think that hipe vs. non-hipe is the problem, either. Somehow the package was just corrupted is my guess...

I can't imagine that

I can't imagine that erlang-base-hipe can run ejabberd and erlang-base not. But anyway, happy ejabbering!

I actually reinstalled the

I actually reinstalled the package, and Im now using the HIPE enabled erlang debian package. It's running flawlessly now....

Show top few lines of erl_crash.dump. Also, who is the owner of /var/lib/ejabberd, of /var/log/ejabberd. Show the result of

ls -al /var/lib/ejabberd

and

I found a file called erl_crash.dump in /var/lib/ejabberd

I guess this means something crashed? :)

It _seems_ its not saving my roster for some reason.

Revise: It was _not_ working at all. I was connecting to jabber.org instead. My server is still unusable. =(

Working now! ;)

Weirdly enough, I've done _nothing_ to the machine, but now its working again! I'm sure it will stop working sometime again though...

I wonder if this is somehow timing related. Any timing I can think of is DNS-lookups, but [icq.]jabber.sandos.se does resolve. Might be that it takes some time (hours??) to start ejabberd?

I will have to investigate a bit more I think.

There were similar symptoms

There were similar symptoms in Debian bug tracking system: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393994
Can you show the output of

ps axu | egrep '(beam|epmd)'

and

diff /usr/share/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg

Its not logging anything,

sandos@jabber.org — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 10:21:39 +0000

Its not logging anything, thats the problem. It for some reason stops logging after awhile, but epmd/beam is still running. It also seems to close its ports. (This could be it happend only after restart, not sure)

I tried compiling erlang (0.10, following the guide) myself, and was planning on compiling ejabberd aswell, but the erlang compile failed with some error that Google was not able to help me with. :(

Try to be more specific in

teo — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 10:40:01 +0000

Try to be more specific in "is not working at all". Are there epmd and beam processes after ejabberd start? Are there log files in /var/log/ejabberd? Could you show sasl.log from there?
