This will tell you if ejabberd is listenting:
telnet localhost 5222

Three ways to connect with a client:

In the server machine use a text jabber client (I don't know touse anyone)
Or if you connect using SSH, then setup port forwarding and connect from your desktop machine
Or in your desktop machine, you can start a normal client, set as jabber domain "localhost", and tell the client to connect to machine 1.2.3.4 (or whatever IP address the server has).

Good idea, thank you! One

Another test process:

1. Install ejabberd with all the default values. For instance, keep "localhost" as the domain name.

2. If the installer didn't create the first account, then create one using ejabberdctl

3. Start a jabber client in the same machine that ejabberd, and try to login. Remember that the jabber server name is "localhost".

4. If login fails, does it fail because incorrect password, because can't find the server, or for other reason? Check if ejabberd log files provide any more clue about the problem.

4alt. If login works, then edit ejabberd.cfg and make one change. Restart and check all works. Repeat until full satisfaction.
