Hi there,
this is my first post to the forums and I understand this question was asked several time but this is my second week workin on the config files still cannot get it going. I really need some help.
OS: FreeBSD 6
ejabberd : 1.0.0
erlang-r10b9,1
hostname -s :jabber
sockstat -4:

Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks
Check the script that starts
Check the script that starts ejabberd, which option does it use, either -name or -sname.
Then check on ejabberd logs what is the final Erlang node name. Something like myejabberd@myhostname.
With all that information, edit your ejabberdctl shell script to use -name or -sname (to match ejabberd start script), and when executing ejabberdctl put the correct Erlang node name.
Note that all this is not related in any way to which Jabber domains do you plan to serve (jabber.myserver.com ...)
Help with host/node error
Hi, thanks for your help but I tried both with -name and -sname
with -name: erlang shows the hostname.domain
with -sname: only hostname
I even tried to replace the hostname in the config file, still out of luck.
