Howdy,
I'm trying to get Ejabberd to run on a Gentoo machine.
I installed ejabber from ports.
box ejabberd # equery uses ejabberd
[ Searching for packages matching ejabberd... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for net-im/ejabberd-0.7.5 ]
U I

box ejabberd #
I have OpenSSL installed and erlang-10.2.10 (also from ports).
box ejabberd # /etc/init.d/ejabberd start

box ejabberd #
Nothing in the logs that could be of any assistance. I'll start it from the command line and see..
box ejabberd # ejabberd

Does anybody know how I can fix this? I can't read that error message too well.
Thanks in advance.
Check write access on Mnesia spool dir
It seems ejabberd was not started because 'acl' database table does not exist. The first time you start ejabberd, the Mnesia database tables are created automatically. Maybe ejabberd could not create 'acl' (and probably any of them) for some reason.
Is the Mnesia spool directory writable by the system user that runs ejabberd? Check too.
