Just for completion, let's clarify also this problem:

In my previous comment I was running erl inside ejabberd/src with all the *.beam and *.so binaries.

This is a more reproducible example:

$ cd /tmp
/tmp

$ erl
Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

2> q().
ok

$ erl -pa /lib/ejabberd/ebin
Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

ok

1/2 SOLVED

I'm kinda glad my previous, lengthly, documented post didn't quite make it. I've maanged to solve it in the meantime. Newbie error (i'm sure you're surprised).

I still get the erl error:

# erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [64-bit] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

As for the server, i had:

{hosts, "test.domain.com"}.

instead of:

{hosts,["test.domain.com"]}.

I assumed for a single host the [] wasn't necessary, but i was wrong[1].

Thanks for the reply :)

I've stripped my .cfg[1] from

I've stripped my .cfg[1] from comments and extra stuff.

My bad about the p. Still:

# erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [64-bit] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

As for the server, i use this string:
{hosts, "test.domain.com"}.

# ejabberdctl start
# ejabberdctl
The node ejabberd@obsd6448 is started with status: started
ejabberd is not running in that node
Check for error messages: /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log
or other files in that directory.

I've also tried with.
# ejabberdctl start --config /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg, same results.

I previously tested with "localhost", gave me 49, now it gives me 116. I've neither defined "49" nor "116" as the host. I've also tried with ip adresses, my guess is i'm missing some Erlang lib.

I have these installed:
ejabberd-2.1.3
erlang-12b.5

The package states this:
@depend converters/libiconv:libiconv-*:libiconv-1.13p1
@depend lang/erlang:erlang->=12b.0:erlang-12b.5
@wantlib crypto.18.0
@wantlib expat.9.0
@wantlib iconv.6.0
@wantlib ssl.15.1
@wantlib z.4.1

I have both dependencies, but none of the recommended. It shouldn't prevent the server from starting, tough, right?

You modified ejabberd.cfg and put some strange content. See what happens if I put
{hosts, ["local@host"]}.
