Submitted by bernard.chau on Thu, 2011-06-30 10:42

ejabberd Administration

after changing the following, ejabberd can't start

in sbin/ejabberdctl, changed HOST=localhost to HOST=ejabberd1
in etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg, added ERLAND_NODE=ejabberd@ejabberd1

i even tried removing everything from the directory var/lib/ejabberd

i've read a lot of similar tutorials about setting up cluster but none of them help

The name of your machine is ejabberd1? I guess it isn't

$ uname -n
machine3

and then
ERLAND_NODE=ejabberd@machine3

thanks for your reply

What can I do, if you don't provide any other clue that allows me to continue suggesting ideas?

I can only remember you the golden rule: stop, uninstall, remove. Then install from zero.

That might help you out with clustering... but for me, I didn't have to modify any start/configuration files at all... leave them alone.

You could always install from binary - 2.1.8 was simple and installs to /opt/, quite frankly it was painless and I got clustering up in about 2 minutes.
