ejabberd - Comments for "OS X Server prefpane quits on launch"

Not in a position to fall back to 10.4.11

S.T.E.N.C.H. — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:04:03 +0000

Alas, I cannot easily fall back to 10.4.11

Is there a way to start ejabberd 2.0.2 on 10.5.5 without using the prefpane...or is the prefpane fixable?

Thanks

I just tried the 2.0.1 version. Same exact issue.

Nobody else is having this problem? Or is anyone else even using this? Forums don't seem like they get a lot of use.

Can anyone suggest where I can get further help?

I used this installer:

I used this installer: http://www.process-one.net/downloads/ejabberd/2.0.2/ejabberd-2.0.2_2-mac...

I run the installer, and when I open System Preferences, I get this from the console:

10/17/08 10:41:34 AM System Preferences[90779] Preference bundle "/Users/tagadmin/Library/PreferencePanes/ejabberd.prefPane" is misplaced, ignoring...

So I move the ejabberd.prefPane from /Users/tagadmin/Library/PreferencePanes to /Library/PreferencePanes

I then launch System Preferences, click on the ejabberd item, and console reports:

and continues with all of the details.

So I was wrong about the Java problem, but either way, it still crashes on attempt to open the Preference Pane.

Any ideas?

Are you in the correct page?

This was a very new, almost pristine new user on 10.5.5 and the latest Java update applied (this morning).

Are you speaking about the ejabberd 2.0.2 installer? Then why do you mention Java?

ejabberd doesn't need Java, it uses Erlang. In fact, the ejabberd 2.0.2 installer from ProcessOne doesn't need you to install Erlang/OTP, as it is included in the installer.
