ejabberd - Comments for "ejabberd as a service on CentOS 7"

I've also encountered this

I've also encountered this while trying to build a package with ejabberd-15.10
In fact you can still use pkexec and ejabberd:
You just need to create a script with following content (ejabberd-15.10 installed ejabberdctl to /usr/sbin):
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/pkexec /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl "$@"

And actually point systemd service to your custom script. Also you'll need to fix polkit rules to allow /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl.

I have our 15.04 binary

I have our 15.04 binary installer working a a clean CentOS7 without problems.
please note use of pkexec comes from an extra packaging stage i'm not aware of so i can not help on this. i highly suggest to use standard ejabberdctl script which rely on /bin/sh indeed.

from default installation, you get /opt/ejabberd-15.04/bin/ejabberd.service. if you need some changes for CentOS/RHEL, please suggest a pull request on github so i can push upstream.

Cool. I'm stuck with 14.07

Cool. I'm stuck with 14.07 for now because for reasons I have not diagnosed, the ejabberd binary installer does not work on CentOS 7, and 14.07 is what is available in the EPEL repository. Would love to upgrade, however...

Just a note: the latest

Just a note: the latest version no longer uses pkexec in the bash scripts.
