ejabberd - Comments for "Changing Admin Password" https://www.ejabberd.im/forum/25395/changing-admin-password en I've been struggling with https://www.ejabberd.im/forum/25395/changing-admin-password#comment-66604 <p>I've been struggling with this all day, typical that I solve it 15 minutes after posting it on the forum.</p> <p>So, here's the steps I followed:</p> <p>ejabberdctl stop<br /> ejabberdctl live</p> <p>Then in the erlang console, I was trying:</p> <p>ejabberd_auth:set_password(&lt;&lt;"admin"&gt;&gt;, &lt;&lt;"localhost"&gt;&gt;, &lt;&lt;"password"&gt;&gt;).</p> <p>This <strong>did not</strong> result in an error, which IMO is a problem. When I'd set the server up, I was using my machine name for the server, so when I replaced "localhost" with my machine name, it actually worked.</p> <p>God knows why reinstalling ejabberd didn't work either, that's just stupid.</p> Mon, 29 Feb 2016 15:46:03 +0000 spectre1989 comment 66604 at https://www.ejabberd.im
