Thank you! The proxy was really bound to the local address only and therefore it would not accept connections from the outside. But once I changed the config your way it started listening on 0.0.0.0:7777 and is accepting connections now.

But: if I verify with telnet whether the port 7777 is open it looks like it is not. What am I missing?

I compiled and installed ejabberd 2.1.3 in Linux, configured the module like you (no custom options). When I start ejabberd, it shows those messages in the log files, which indicate that ejabberd started the module, the listener, etc:

                       {child_type,supervisor}]

Then I looked what ports is ejabberd listening:

$ netstat -nlp | grep beam | sort
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:38320           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      21666/beam.smp

As you can see, the port 7777 is only listened in the local address 127.0.0.1, not in all.

Then I try a connection, and telnet fortunately uses the local address, so the connection works:

$ telnet localhost 7777
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
asdasd
Connection closed by foreign host.

ejabberd logs in ejabberd.log:

=INFO REPORT==== 17-May-2010::11:22:05 ===
I(<0.300.0>:ejabberd_listener:232) : (#Port<0.3908>) Accepted connection
   {{127,0,0,1},59976} -> {{127,0,0,1},7777}

If you want the proxy to listen in all addresses, you can configure:

  {mod_proxy65,[ {ip, {0,0,0,0}} ]},
