check your computer name and your short host name or alias name in /etc/hosts, match this
1. Check your computer name
[wendy@nyc123]$
nyc123 is your computer name
2. Check your short hostname
[wendy@nyc123]$ hostname -s
[wendy@nyc123]$ nyc456
This error could happen because your computer name and short host name didn't match. To match this, you can change the computer hostname or alias name.

- Change computer host name
[wendy@nyc123]$ hostname nyc456
close your terminal and open again
[wendy@nyc456]$
the computer name has changed

- Change alias name in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 nyc123.com nyc123
save and check again
[wendy@nyc123]$ hostname -s
[wendy@nyc123]$ nyc123

Restart your ejabberd!
[root@nyc123]$ ejabberdctl start
[root@nyc123]$ ejabberdctl status
The node 'ejabberd@nyc123.com' is started with status: started
ejabberd 15.09 is running in that node

The above error could also happen if your /etc/hosts is in a wrong format. The login prompt will be in a 'strange' format too, mybox.(none) for example.

Using DHCP but still in the need for a fancy hostname?

/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 mybox.mydomain mybox localhost
