Problem importing 2.0.5 data into 2.1.5 with {aborted,{no_exists,http_poll}} error

I am migrating my ejabberd server to a new server. I am keeping the same hostname so don't need to do the host name conversion. On the 2.0.5-1.1 machine I did a
ejabberdctl backup /tmp/ejab1.backup
I then sent that file to my new server running 2.1.5-3+squeeze1build0.11
and got the disco_publish table error - which I tried the workaround, but then got a

{aborted,{no_exists,http_poll}} error. Any ideas how to get past this or a better way to copy my database from the old 2.0 server to the new 2.1 server?

2.1.9 and 2.1.10 both fail to do post-install script (Mac OS X 10.7.2)

I've tried to install both 2.1.9 and 2.1.10 mac installers, but they both fail at the post-install script. Manually trying to run /bin/start from the terminal also doesn't work (it just stalls for several minutes, then launches safari with a failure page).

Anyone else having this problem?

Simple install on Ubuntu

Hi folks.

I've tried umpteen config mods and still don't seem to have a working server so, here I am, hoping for some help.

The system is a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 server.

I installed the server with apt-get install ejabberd. I edited /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg to include this...

%% Admin user
{acl, admin, {user, "adminjserv", "jserv.drsimon.co.nz"}}.

%% Hostname
{hosts, ["jserv.drsimon.co.nz"]}.

There's a DNS A record for the server, and the router is configured to forward 5222, 5269 & 5280 to the server machine.
