Hello, The error code is

Hello,

The error code is {error,duplicate_name}. It means that an Erlang virtual machine with the same name exists. You have a server currently running, probably as a background service.

I followed your advice, which I love by the way (very simple), but get this error.

I'm running Ejabberd 1.1.1 on window XP sp2 with otp_win32_R10B-10.exe

Any thought?
Thanks
Marc

I've temporary updated the download URL so that it directly points to a working Erlang binary.

Step by Step Installation Procedure

I am stuck here, too. I followed your advice by installing the R10B-10.exe instead of R11B-0, and I'm pretty sure I did all the steps you listed correctly. I am using Exodus as my jabber client. In my Erlang screen, I am getting several:

I have no clue what is going on. Can you help me?

Thanks for any advice you or anyone else can offer!

Issue resolved by installing

Issue resolved by installing erlang_otp_win32_R10B-10.exe instead.

Can anyone tell me how to install jwchat using IIS 5.0 using an intranet server LOCALHOST? I am as far as logging into the jwchat web page.

my ejabbed.cfg has the following relevant entries:
{host, "localhost"}.

{listen,
...
{5280, ejabberd_http, [http_poll, web_admin]}

I am using var SITENAME = "localhost" under config.js
http://localhost:5280/http-poll display XML document must have a top level element

Can I use localhost as the sitename?
how do I configure ISAPI_Rewrite?
Do I just add RewriteProxy (/http-poll/) http\:// localhost\:5280$1 in httpd.ini?
IIS 5 default web site have been set to jwchat directory. I get the login page but after I enter user password, it goes back to login page.
