This is an Erlang level error message and we cannot change / adapt it (It is displayed by Erlang even before ejabberd is started).</p> Thu, 24 Sep 2015 09:04:19 +0000 mremond comment 66123 at https://www.ejabberd.im seems it was my fault, some https://www.ejabberd.im/forum/25067/solved-ejabberd-crashes-and-dont-restart#comment-66032 <p>seems it was my fault, some days ago i tried to add some more admin user .. but i messed the /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg while the format for a user is<br /> {acl, admin, {user, "username", "example.com"}}.<br /> anyhow i messed this to<br /> {acl, admin, {user, "username@somewhere.de", "another@example.com"}}.</p> <p>maybe because the server is running smoothly and the config wasnt read by the program so far, this mistake didnt take effect until "now".<br /> sadly this mistake is not easy understandable (maybe a nice hint to check correct format of user stuff, and give nice errors in the log)</p> <p>thanks for your attention</p> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 20:52:29 +0000 ausgechillt comment 66032 at https://www.ejabberd.im
