Hi man,

Thank you very much for your help. It turns out to be some error in my client setup. I found it out. Now there is no issue connecting to the server. Thank you again for your help and patience.

Another thing I tried is to

Another thing I tried is to download gajim to the ubuntu server. I launched the gajim client using my JID and the public DNS of the server. I was able to log on the server OK. Somehow I can't use my own client to connect to the ejabberd server.

I changed my JID but it still

I changed my JID but it still didn't work. The error message is "Unable to connect to server. Check xmppStream.hostName".

I am not sure if this is related. When I run the command "sudo /opt/ejabberd-15.02/bin/ejabberdctl status"

Here is what I got:
The node ejabberd@localhost is started with status: started
ejabberd 15.02 is running in that node

No, that means you need to

No, that means you need to configure your client to try JID admin1@localhost and use the Amazon server address. All is client-side configuration.

Does that mean I have to

Does that mean I have to modify the config file to be "ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com"?

When I run the binary to install ejabberd, I specified my server name to be "ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com". I guess this didn't set the domain name.

thanks a lot for your help.

I think your actual JID is

mremond — Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:55:44 +0000

I think your actual JID is admin1@localhost as localhost is the default ejabberd domain if you do not define one. However, server to connect to then need to be specified manually in your client configuration to "ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com"

after I install ejabberd, I

after I install ejabberd, I was not able to open the ejabberd config file. It says I don't have permission to the config file. Could you please give me directory of the ejabberd config file? I would like to make sure I located the right file. When I try to cd /opt/ejabberd-14.12/conf/, I got message saying permission denied.

myjid=@"admin1@ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com"

XMPP domain is a component of the jid. You will find configured domains in ejabberd config file.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I have tried a couple. I used imessage in Mac and my own client. Both the clients worked when I set my own Macbook up as a server.

What do you mean by XMPP domain? How do I find that out in my client and ejabberd server setup?

What client are you using ?

mremond — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 15:15:39 +0000

What client are you using ? What XMPP domain did you define for ejabberd ?

It seems that there may be a mismatch in the domain you are using in the client and the domain configured in the XMPP server. Hint: This is not the same as the server address, which is technical Amazon IP - name match.
