My ejabberd 2.1.3 server has been humming along nicely for a few days, when suddenly today I got disconnected from it, and I couldn't reconnect.
So I restarted the server, but still couldn't connect. I did "service ejabberd status" to see if it was really running, and got this instead:

Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,kernel,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}})And in my /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log I have a few errors about the time I got disconnected:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, but it turned out to be /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log that was the trouble. I compared everything to another server that is working, and that file was chmod 644 instead of 640, as it should be.

I'm faced the same error, but turns to be a permission error in /var/lib/ejabberd/PREVIOUS.LOG which was owned by root (?)
I just chown it to ejabberd:ejabberd and things went back to normality.
