OK, i got it working now.

-> i installed Erlang to erlang.i386 R11B-0.1.fc5 (Version R11B)
-> copied Mnesia-Dirs to the taget mentionned in the initscript
-> chowned the new Mnesia-Dir to ejabberd:ejabberd

...works!

FreeBSD 6.1 /ejabberd 1.1.1

dotdash — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:39:03 +0000

I've loaded 1.1.1 on FreeBSD several times now, and it's running great. From a fresh install I loaded perl via sysinstall, then gmake, gcc, openssl, expat, xorg-libraries, javavmwrapper...
Got the diablo jdk, loaded the erlang-lite port...
Loaded ejabberd-1.1.1 from source (configure, gmake, gmake install)
start it with this script:
#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/local/bin/erl -pa /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin \
-sname ejabberd \
-s ejabberd \
-ejabberd config \"/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg\" \
log_path \"/var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log\" \
-sasl sasl_error_logger \{file,\"/var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log\"\} \
-mnesia dir \"/var/lib/ejabberd/spool\" -detached

Works beautifully- I'm authenticating against AD, using TLS, and Jwchat for web access.

Beam line missing

roger — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 10:25:31 +0000

What i found out, is that the line calling Beam is missing in all our outputs. Usually i have 3 lines in, on older version, one of those has beam in it...

not finding ejabberd.cfg?

roger — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 11:10:18 +0000

btw. somehow i have the feeling, as ejabberd won't load the config-file mentionned in -ejabberd config=...but i have no proof for it.

The same for me, using

roger — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 11:05:02 +0000

The same for me, using Fedora Core 5.

Starting manually as root from within /etc/ejabberd using erl -pa /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin -name ejabberd -s ejabberd

makes it working flawlessy. The shipped init-script uses this:

erl -pa /usr/lib/ejabberd-1.1.1/ebin \
-sname ejabberd \
-s ejabberd \
-ejabberd config \"/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg\" \
log_path \"/var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log\" \
-sasl sasl_error_logger \{file,\"/var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log\"\} \
-mnesia dir \"/var/lib/ejabberd/spool\"

...and it doesn't work too...

ejabberd isn't started; you should see a process called beam. Did you add this line to your /etc/rc.conf file?:

ejabberd_enable="YES"

After you add this line, you should do:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ejabberd start

And you will see something like:

Starting ejabberd:

Anyone figure this out?

I am in the same boat.

What are you using for your ejabberd script? The ctl script? (I get the same error).
