Can't access web administation

Hello,

I've installed ejabberd on win2000 using the installer on the download page. As per instructions, I've downloaded and installed both erlang and openssl--which was optional. I can go into the config file and add users, but I can't access the web administration page. I would like to complete the config and then setup clients. I've tried several suggestions I've found in these forums, but still have not been able to get this up and running. Below is a copy of my config file. I am also confused as to how to login (could be the problem, huh?). In the browser, I'm typing:

http://dp00011.secfedbank.com:5280/admin/

I get a windows box to login and I'm typing: chris@secfedbank.com and I believe I've set the password for password. I've tried with and without a password. As you can see in the config file, I have chris setup as an admin. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

That does not look very consistent...this will probably work:

In the browser, type: 
http://dp00011.secfedbank.com:5280/admin/

Type: chris@dp00011.secfedbank.com

{acl, admin, {user, "chris","dp00011.secfedbank.com"}}.

% Host name(s):
{hosts, ["dp00011.secfedbank.com"]}.

But you probably want this:

In the browser, type: 
http://secfedbank.com:5280/admin/

Type: chris@secfedbank.com

{acl, admin, {user, "chris","secfedbank.com"}}.

% Host name(s):
{hosts, ["secfedbank.com"]}.

If your server is in the LAN, you can add a forward rule to your router, and you can add a rule to your internal DNS server so that when intranet clients try to resolve "secfedbank.com", get the internal IP of your server (the latter is not needed though).

passwords?

Sander--

Thanks for the input, that will help clear things up. What about passwords? Where I'm probably having the actual problem is passwords. I'm not able to set a password for the user or admin. When I try to browse to the site, I DO get the Windows username/password dialog box, but after get the 401 error after I try to login three times. I had thought I had set a password of 'password' for MY user account, and I've also tried a blank password, and using the admin account with a blank password. No luck.

Under Windows, probably the

Under Windows, probably the easiest way to create an administrator is by using a Jabber client with in-band registration support or by using the beta version of the ejabberd installer. See the ejabberd guide for a section called "Creating an Initial Administrator".
