Clients Cannot Connect

I've installed ejabberd on Ubuntu from source. I can register new accounts, but then cannot connect. It seems to be an authentication problem but I'm not clear how to fix it. I'm using auth_method, internal. This is what the log shows me:

** Reason for termination =
** {badarg,[{ets,lookup,[crypto_server_table,port]},
{crypto,control,2},
{cyrsasl_digest,response,6},
{cyrsasl_digest,mech_step,2},
{cyrsasl,server_step,2},
{ejabberd_c2s,wait_for_sasl_response,2},
{gen_fsm,handle_msg,7},
{proc_lib,init_p,5}]}

I've installed libcrypto and libssl but still no success. Hope someone has some ideas.
