Same thing for me with Ubuntu

Same thing for me with Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS 64b.

After a fresh install, I'm unable to start ejabberd. During the installation it has failed. And I am still not capable to start it.

My /etc/hosts got the lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mainline (The name of the server)
MY_PUBLIC_IP MY_DOMAINNAME.com

However, in my case, I am running this distribution under a virtualmachine and I do have an error report:
Failed to open socket,
7777,mod_proxy65_stream,[inet,{ip,{my host IP}}]}
Reason, IP address not available

My host IP is different from the public IP of the machine.
I don't really know how to configure that....
Any idea ?

I recommend you to uninstall

I recommend you to uninstall (or better, purge) the ejabberd deb package, then make sure those processes are killed: beam, beam.smp, epmd

Then install ejabberd again, with default settings, and try to start/stop it several times. Once you are sure that works, you can customize the option 'hosts', and slowly any other options. Always ensuring you can still restart ejabberd correctly.
