Ah, I didn't know that. What other package is required?

I was finally able to get it installed. I did not realize that another package was required to install modules (at least on Ubuntu). Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you outlined with no success. I also tried specifying the CONTRIB_MODULES_PATH in the ejabberdctl.cfg file to make sure the module was in the correct directory with no luck. modules_available continues to show nothing. Any other ideas?

I tried with a custom module

I tried with a custom module called mod_zzz:
1. Run: ejabberdctl modules_update_specs
2. Go to $HOME/.ejabberd-modules/sources/ejabberd-contrib/
3. Create a new subdir called mod_zzz (or whatever)
4. Copy from mod_rest everything to mod_zzz, renaming file names, and editing the config file and the spec file
5. Now put your mod_zzz.erl
6. Run: ejabberdctl modules_available

Your module should be listed there. I didn't try, but module_install should work. Please try and tell me if that works or not.
