ejabberd - Comments for "ejabberd and ipv6"

I don't think it's related

I don't think it's related to this:

the erl -name parameter is the same as in my config file, but it just fails to start when I use the inet6 parameter, normal ipv4 operation works just fine.

What is the startup command

What is the startup command that you used? I got the same error you got, when the host in the cfg file did not match the -name parameter in the erl command line.

I use Freebsd and use "sockstat | grep beam" to look up ejabberd processes. If you get those "informational" errors, more than likely, your jabber server is not up and accessible. I struggled just this weekend with similar issues. Matching the host in the cfg and the -name parameter resolved it for me.

Not on FreeBSD.

This isn't true for the FreeBSD version. It only binds on v6, not on v4&v6.

I have this in my config:

I have this in my config:

{5222, ejabberd_c2s, [inet6, {access, c2s},
{shaper, c2s_shaper},
{max_stanza_size, 65536}]},

but whenever I launch ejabber, it says in the logfile:
=INFO REPORT==== 2006-10-20 16:49:59 ===
application: ejabberd
exited: shutdown
type: temporary

not too informative to me :-(
Netstat gives me nothing for port 5222. Can I check anything else?

If you add the option

If you add the option 'inet6' to the listened socket on ejabberd.cfg, as described on ejabberd guide, ejabberd will listen to IPv6 and IPv4, at the same time, on the same port.

Example:

ejabberd.cfg wrote:

{listen,
[
{5222, ejabberd_c2s, [inet6, {access, c2s}, {shaper, c2s_shaper}]},
...
]}.
