Is there a way to force a reinstall an drop all mnesia config tables?

Hi,

Last week I installed an ejabberd server on ubuntu 10.04 server with aptitude.
Everything was fine until, without knowing, I changed the hostname.

Now ejabberd is not starting up, I tried with all hostnames, tried with /etc/default/ejabberd but nothing seems to work.

I removed ejabberd and erlang, (apt-get purge and autoremove) then reinstalled.

I may have changed something else that I don't know.

So, I think that if I make a reinstall and somehow get ride from all the old configuration, it may work.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

In aptitude, instead of

In aptitude, instead of Removing the package, try to Purge it. This will remove its configuration files and also the Mnesia spool dir database. Or you can find that spool dir yourself and delete its contents.
