Hello,
My goal is to get ejabberd working on a linux (or FreeBSD) server. After some review, I chose and installed Debian Sarge 3.1r2 (is there a better choice for ejabberd?) and performed a basic (non-GUI) install. I followed the steps in the tutorial section on this web site, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
The install for erlang appears to be working, but during the install of ejabberd I get the following output (below) just before it fails...
Can anyone advise what the issue might be?
Thank you,
-Alan
