While DOS uses CR/LF, Unix uses LF - sometimes Unix based software is confused about the CR.</p> <p>Which Editor did you use? In the good ones you can save the file as "UNIX" style. Ultra Edit, for instance, asks you when opening a file if if should convert that to DOS style, and when you don't do that, everything is fine. You can change the style in the menu file-&gt;convert in Ultra Edit.</p> <p>--<br /> Visit my projects: <noindex><a href="http://www.serverbau.de/" rel="nofollow" >serverbau</a></noindex> and <noindex><a href="http://www.schlauweb.de/" rel="nofollow" >schlauweb</a></noindex></p> Thu, 13 Apr 2006 07:34:01 +0000 netuno comment 1562 at https://www.ejabberd.im Check newlines https://www.ejabberd.im/node/622#comment-1307 <p>Though I doubt this is the issue, check your config file to be sure you haven't inadvertently added newlines to your config when editing the file. Specifically, the lines<br /> ____________________________________________________________<br /> ...<br /> % HTTP service (You may choose options HTTP-polling and Web-administering)<br /> When commenting out, be careful with commas<br /> {5280, ejabberd_http, [http_poll, web_admin]}]}.<br /> ...<br /> ____________________________________________________________</p> <p>The line that begins "When"...it SHOULD be part of the previous line, which is a comment. [All lines beginning with a percent sign (%) are comments.] Though it's not possible to tell from your post whether this is the case for various reasons, I have seen on many occasions people loading up files in their editor of choice, making a change, re-saving the file, and due to word-wrapping/truncating features, newlines being added.</p> <p>If the line that begins "When" is NOT part of the previous line...that is, if that IS the beginning of a new line, there's your problem. Re-edit your config file so that either "When..." comes at the end of hte previous line, or add a % just before "When" so that the line is seen as a comment. Erlang's syntax won't know what to make of that line, as it's not a comment, and yet it's not proper Erlang either.</p> <p>Just a shot in the dark, but based on the error message you posted, figured it might be worth asking.</p> Sun, 29 Jan 2006 03:26:11 +0000 fseesink comment 1307 at https://www.ejabberd.im You can't.
