EJABBERD_SO_PATH

Hello,

as a default ejabberd looks for .so files in the current directory. If those file are somewhere else, you can define the environment variable EJABBERD_SO_PATH to point to the directory where your .so files are.

Can't find expat_erl.so

I'm not able to login or register from a client, like gaim.

When a client connects and tries to register, I see:

sh: line 0: exec: expat_erl: not found

I can't find any executables for expat_erl on my system.

I think the start command and config file are correct. However, ejabberd needs expat_erl.so to handle XMPP packets.

If I remove that file in my ejabberd installation, I get this message while ejabberd is started:

...
=ERROR REPORT==== 28-Jul-2007::10:40:12 ===
Error in process <0.234.0> on node 'eja3@atenea' with exit value:

...

Also, when I try to establish any XMPP connection (create account, login...), I get the error message you mentioned:

=INFO REPORT==== 28-Jul-2007::10:41:28 ===

So, it seems your problem is that erlang can't find the file expat_erl.so. If it is compiled, but was not installed, you can try to copy it to the ebin/ directory where you have all the other *.beam files.

If you still have problems, maybe you still miss other files. In ejabberd 1.1.3 I have all those libraries: expat_erl.so iconv_erl.so stringprep_drv.so tls_drv.so ejabberd_zlib_drv.so
