Have i misconfigured something?

Yes, ejabberd refuses to start because there is a syntax error in the configuration file. The error message does not exactly indicate where the problem is, but I think I found it.

ejabberd.cfg explains in the beginning:

A list can have as many elements as you want, and is enclosed in [], for example: [http_poll, web_admin, tls]

In your case, you have something like:

{modules,
  [
    {mod_adhoc,    []},
    {mod_announce, [{access, announce}]}, % requires mod_adhoc
    {mod_caps,     []},
    ...
    {mod_vcard_ldap, 
      [
        {ldap_base, "OU=ejabberd,OU=testusers,OU=users,DC=domain,DC=com"},
        ...
        {ldap_search_reported,
          [
            {"Perekonnanimi", "FAMILY"},
            {"Eesnimi", "GIVEN"}
          ]
        }
      ]
    },   %%% That comma must not exist, delete it! This line is the end of a list, should only have: }
  ]
}.
