I am on Linux Mint 17 and Ubuntu based distro.
Ran the Ubuntu guide which basically is: apt-get install ejabberd
Then did the following minimal edits in the ejabberd.cfg per the docs that I can find. Then it is suppose to work.
Here are the edits I made, did not touch anything else:
57 %% Admin user
58 {acl, admin, {user, "admin", "Momentive"}}.
59
60 %% Hostname
61 {hosts, ["Momentive"]}.Where I want my people to enter Momentive as an internal ip address, this is not connected to the internet.
I cannot get it started, it will not even make a log entry.
ejabberdctl start
Failed RPC connection to the node ejabberd@Momentive: nodedownThere is no entry in the /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log, unless I do the following that someone in an online question site suggested:
ejabberd zap

E(<0.41.0>:ejabberd_config:554) : Error reading Mnesia database spool files:
The Mnesia database couldn't read the spool file for the table 'config'.
ejabberd needs read and write access in the directory:
/var/lib/ejabberd
Maybe the problem is a change in the computer hostname,
or a change in the Erlang node name, which is currently:
ejabberd@Momentive
Check the ejabberd guide for details about changing the
computer hostname or Erlang node name.

That ends up on the screen and in the log. What is mnesia, how do I get it setup?
What other problems are there here? None of the guides indicate there should be any problems.
Thanx

Mint 17 has a horribly
Mint 17 has a horribly outdated ejabberd, 2.1.xxx
Download manually from the main site or use a PPA, seems fine
