ejabberd - Comments for "Can't register my admin user"

Have you tried the user:

Have you tried the user: admin@ubuntu810 and not only admin??

None of this works.....

I have tried everything you all suggest but no luck.
Here is my config file... (at least the first bit - everything else is as default)

%%%
%%%     Debian ejabberd configuration file
%%%     This config must be in UTF-8 encoding
%%%
%%% The parameters used in this configuration file are explained in more detail
%%% in the ejabberd Installation and Operation Guide.
%%% Please consult the Guide in case of doubts, it is available at
%%% /usr/share/doc/ejabberd/guide.html
%%%   ===================================
%%%   OVERRIDE OPTIONS STORED IN DATABASE
%%
%% Override global options (shared by all ejabberd nodes in a cluster).
%%
override_global.
%%
%% Override local options (specific for this particular ejabberd node).
%%
override_local.
%%
%% Remove the Access Control Lists before new ones are added.
%%
override_acls.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Options which are set by Debconf and managed by ucf
%% Admin user
%% {acl, admin, {user, "copadmin", "ubuntu810"}}.
%% {acl, admin, {user, "__USER__", "ubuntu810"}}.
%% Hostname
{hosts, ["ubuntu810"]}.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I still get the same "not_allowed" message when I try to register a user.
I have tried loading from the config file:

sudo ejabberdctl load-config /usr/share/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg

but this just lists the command formats (very unhelpful error messaging).

This command does not exist either....

sudo ejabberdctl registered-users ubuntu810

... and same with registered_users or registeredusers

However...

sudo ejabberdctl stats registeredusers

...gives a result of zero.

And now I am even more stuck because I have just shut down ejabberd to make one more try and I get this:

copernic@ubuntu810:/usr/share/ejabberd$ sudo ejabberdctl stop
copernic@ubuntu810:/usr/share/ejabberd$ sudo ejabberdctl start
RPC failed on the node ejabberd@ubuntu810: nodedown

I'm beginning to think maybe there is something wrong with the Ubuntu install and I should download and install myself. Any ideas welcome.

No, acl stored in DB, not

No, acl stored in DB, not config!
If you want clear acl - you should uncomment in config:

%%%   =======================
%%%   OVERRIDE STORED OPTIONS
%%
%% Override the old values stored in the database.
%%
%%
%% Override global options (shared by all ejabberd nodes in a cluster).
%%
override_global.
%%
%% Override local options (specific for this particular ejabberd node).
%%
override_local.
%%
%% Remove the Access Control Lists before new ones are added.
%%
override_acls.

and restart ejabberd.

Maybe you can't register that

Maybe you can't register that Jabber account because it already is registered?

Check with:

sudo ejabberdctl registered_users ubuntu810

Tried this - no luck

I tried doing this by simply commenting out the acl line then stopping and restarting the jabber server. No luck, I still get the same problem.
Could it be something to do with the way ubuntu installs it (I user the Synaptic install manager)?

try to register new "plain"
