This bug is tracked here: Compilation error on Erlang/OTP R12B due to missing SSL header files. Your solution is good enough to compile and run ejabberd correctly. However, note that it's preferable to continue using Erlang R11B-5 for production servers until the R12B line of releases stabilize (R12B-2 or so).

R12B-0 compile and PKIX?

Thanks.

No. There are new installers, check the top of the newspost.

If you try the new installer, also check if the admin account is created in ejabberd. In my test, it was not created.

Can you try to open cmd.exe, or the windows registry? I couldn't, maybe due to a virus in my Windows system.

Is compiling and local-installing ejabberd is better than using the binary installer?

Well, it depends in your interests. For a production server both of them are ok. If you plan to run ejabberd in the bleeding edge, trying code from SVN, etc, maybe you prefer to compile and install from source code.

Yes, it seems a bug in the

Yes, it seems a bug in the installer. I also see that window with error messages.

When a new installer is published and works for me, I'll update this newspage.

Regarding VPS and SSH: if the server has Erlang installed, compiling and local-install ejabberd is easy. If the system admin doesn't want to install Erlang for you, the binary installer has several options: execute in the command line with the option --help

I`ve tried to install

I`ve tried to install ejabberd 2.0.0 beat1 on windows XP but it doesn't work.
The install proccess seems fine but when I`m trying to run ejabberd there is a black screen with many errors.

I have tried 1.1.4 and it works fine. At the end of the installation I think it installs erlang but on the 2.0 beta1 version it doesn`t show the erlang screen at the end.

How do I use the linux installer on VPS using SSH?
How do I uninstall it?

Thanks
